Anand Agricultural University, Anand

Anand Agricultural University (AAU) was established in 2004 at Anand with the support of the Government of Gujarat, Act No.(Guj 5 of 2004) dated April 29, 2004. Caved out of the erstwhile Gujarat Agricultural University (GAU), the dream institution of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Dr. K. M. Munshi, the AAU was set up to provide support to the farming community in three facets namely education, research and extension activities in Agriculture, Horticulture Engineering, product Processing and Home Science. At present there seven Colleges, seventeen Research Centers and six Extension Education Institute working in nine districts of Gujarat namely Ahmedabad, Anand, Dahod, Kheda, Panchmahal, Vadodara, Mahisagar, Botad and Chhotaudepur AAU's activities have expanded to span newer commodity sectors such as soil health card, bio-diesel, medicinal plants apart from the mandatory ones like rice, maize, tobacco, vegetable crops, fruit crops, forage crops, animal breeding, nutrition and dairy products etc. the core of AAU's operating philosophy however, continues to create the partnership between the rural people and committed academic as the basic for sustainable rural development. In pursuing its various programmes AAU's overall mission is to promote sustainable growth and economic independence in rural society. AAU aims to do this through education, research and extension education. Thus, AAU works towards the empowerment of the farmers.

    HETEROSIS AND COMBINING ABILITY STUDIES IN CHILLIES ( Capsicum annum L.)
    (AAU, Anand, 1985) SREENIVAS, M.; Patel, S. A.
    The present investigation was, undertaken to estimate heterosis and combining ability for yield and its attributes in chillies (Capsicum annum L.). The experimental material consisted of eleven parents of which Jwala, S-49, G-4 and Pant C-1 were used as females and Khumarvad, 85-3, Rashumpatta, SG-5, S-2, Button and PBC-111 were used as males. In the first year i.e. 1983-84 crosses were made and in the second year i.e. 1984-85 the parents and twenty-eight hybrids were grown in R.B.D. at the Plant Breeding Farm, B.A. College of Agriculture, Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand.

    INHERITANCE OF QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERS IN Gossypium hirsutum L. x G. barbadense L. HYBRIDS
    (AAU, Anand, 1987) PANCHAL, S. S.; Dalal, K. C.
    The experiment was conducted at Plant Breeding Research Farm, Anand during 1984-85, Six generations viz., P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1 and BC2 developed from two crosses :(1) H-51-3 x SUVIN and (2) H-51-3 x S.I.L.S-9 were studied. The parents were of species Gossypium hirsutum L. (H-51-3) and G. barbadense (SUVIN and S.I.L.S-9). Two rows each of P1, P2 and check four each of F1, BC1 and BC2 and six rows of F2 were planted in compact family block design.

    VARIABILITY IN OKRA
    (AAU, Anand, 1983) Patel, Jayush N.; Dalal, K. C.
    An experiment comprising seven genotypes of okra and 21 diallel crosses ignoring reciprocals was conducted at the Plant Breeding Research Farm, Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand during the year 1982. Significant genetic variability was observed for all the characters studied, namely, days to first flower, plant height, number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, pod weight, pod length, pod girth, pod yield per plant and pod yield per plot. Significant gca effects were indicated for plant height, number of pods per plant, pod weight, pod length and pod girth and significant oca effects were indicated for plant height, number of pods per plant, pod weight, pod girth, pod yield per plant and pod yield per plot.

    GENETICS OF PEROXIDASE ACTIVITY IN BIDI TOBACCO
    (AAU, Anand, 1983) SASIDHARAN, N.; JAISANI, B. G.
    A study was conducted at the Bidi Tobacco Research Station, Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand during the span of two years viz., 1981-82 to findout the content of genetics variability, grount of heterosis and mechanism of combining abilty existing for peroxidase activity in bidi tobacco. Fifty one bidi tobacco genetypes were utilized for the study if genetic variability whereas a set comprising of five male and five female parents and their as hybrids was used for the studies on containing ability and heterosis.

    GENETIC ANALYSIS OF YIELD AND OTHER QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERS IN FORAGE COWPEA (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.)
    (AAU, Anand, 1982) Kandalkar, Vasant S.; Sanghi, A. K.
    The experimental material consisted of 190 populations which included 10 parents, 45 F1s, 45 F2s and 45B1s and 45 B2s. The experiment was conducted in a compact family block design at the Forage Research Project, Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand in summer and monsoon seasons of 1980 to obtain information related to gene action, heterosis and inbreeding depression. Observations were recorded on 15 characters, viz., plant height, number of branches per plant, first internode length, stem girth, number of leaves per plant, leaflet length, leaflet width, petiole length, leaf thickness, leaf area per plant, leaf weight per plant, stem weight per plant, leafiness percentage, green fodder and cry matter yield per plant.

    FLORAL BIOLOGY MODE OF POLLINATION AND ARTIFICIAL CROSSING IN TINNEVELLY SENNA (CASSIA ANGUSTIFOLIA VAHL)
    (AAU, Anand, 1982) JAIN, ASHOK K.; Dalal, K. C.
    In selected plants of Tinnevelly senna (Cassia angustifolia Vahl, Caesalpiniaceae), wherein, the time taken from sowing to bud initiation was 38-42 days, the initiation of bud to blooming took 16 days. Anthesis commenced from 02.00 hours and was completed by 06.00 to 07.00 hours. Number of days required for completion of anthesis in an inflorescence had linear relationship with number of total buds that opened in an inflorescence. Anther dehiscence started from 08.00 to 09.00 hours and continued upto 15.00 to 16.00 hours. Pollem viability and stigma respectively remained only for the day of anthesis.

    HETEROSIS AND COMBINING ABILITY IN PIGEONPEA (Cajanus cajan (L) Millsp.)
    (AAU, Anand, 1985) PATEL, DINESHBHAI BHAGWANBHAI; Patel, S. A.
    Heterosis and combining ability in pigeonpea (cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) were studied in a set of 8 x 8 diallel crosses excluding reciprocals at Pulses Research Station, Gujarat Agricultural University, Model Farm, Baroda, during kharif season of the year 1984-85. Analysis of variance manifested highly significant differences for all the traits barring numbers of primary branches, indicating the presence of considerable genetic diversity in the experimental material studied. The magnitude of heterosis varied from cross to cross for almost all the traits under study. High values of heterosis were observed for the traits viz., pods per plant and seed yield, medium for clusters per plant and pods per cluster, while relatively low for rest of the traits.

    INDUCED MUTATION STUDIES FOR CERTAIN CHEMICAL (CARCINOGENIC) AND AGRONOMIC TRAITS IN BIDI TOBACCO (Nicotiana tabacum L.)
    (AAU, Anand, 1983) Sasikumar, B.; Patel, G. J.
    Tobacco (N. tabaccum) is one of the important cash crops of India. Among the various types of tobacco produced in the country, Bidi tobacco occupies an important position contributing about 38 per cent of the total tobacco production. Over the last two decades a 200 per cent increase in bidi tobacco yield has been attained by improved genotypes developed at Anand. Having achieved this quantitative leas, scientific attention is now being concentrated for the qualitative improvement of bidi tobacco with emphasis on health aspects. It is now more or less well established that bidi smoking is also injurious to health.

    GENETIC STUDIES IN FORAGE SORGHUM (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)
    (AAU, Anand, 1982) PATHAK, HIRA CHAND; Sanghi, A. K.
    Six sorghum male sterile lines were crossed with 18 diverse pollinators in a line x tester design. The resulting 108 hybrids and 24 parents were grown separately in a contiguous block in four environments during kharif, 1981 and were evaluated for 16 forage characters. The objective of the study was to investigate the magnitude of heterosis, combining ability, genetic divergence among parents, character associations, genotype x environment interactions and phenotypic stability of genotypes.
