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.

    GAMMA-RAY INDUCED GENETIC VARIABILITY, POLLEN DISPERSAL AND SEED SET IN ISABGUL (PLANTAGO OVATA FORSK)
    (AAU, Anand, 1979) PATEL, DIWAKER R.; DALAL, K. C.
    Field experiments were conducted to study radio sensitivity of isabgul to gamma-rays, the effect of length, type, mode and duration of enclosures on seed set, the desirability of powerloom cloth bag for selfing whole plant and pollen dispersal in isabgul crop. (1) In M2 generation, positive significant shifts in means were observed for characters length of spike and number of tillers per plant. Mutagenic treatments of gamma rays increased variability in M2 generation in the progenies for most of the characters. Early maturing types were obtained from irradiated populations. The highest values of genetic variance accompanied by corresponding genetic parameters were observed at both, higher and lower doses of gamma rays for dofferent characters. Forty and eighty Kr doses of gamma rays were most effective in inducing variability for maturity and synchronous flowering.However, 40 Kr dose of gamma rays was suggested for improvement in other characters.

    GENE EFFECT STUDIES IN BIDI TOBACCO
    (AAU, Anand, 1979) B., SASIKUMAR.; JAISANI, B. G.
    Bidi tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) is one of the important cash crops of India, especially Gujarat. Considering, the important of tobacco in national economy it is but proper that due attention is paid for its development as well as qualitative and quantitative improvement. But unlike fcv tobacco, information on the genetics of bidi tobacco is very scanty. A sound breeding methodology rests on the knowledge of gene effects governing yield and other agro-morphological characters as well as the genetic variability present in the base material. Hence, this study was undertaken to know the gene effects governing yield and other agro-morphological characters, genetic divergance existing among the bidi tobacco genotypes and genetic advance for cured leaf yield.

    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.
