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.

    GENETIC VARIABILITY ANALYSIS IN CHILLIES (Capsicum annuum L.) THROUGH MORPHOLOGICAL AND MOLECULAR MARKERS
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2006) P.N.Patel; Dr. R. S. Fougat
    A collection of 38 genotypes of chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) were evaluated at B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand for different morphometric, biochemical and macromolecular parameters with a view to estimate the genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance, correlation and path coefficient analysis among different plant characters. For phenotypic parameters the field experiment was conducted in a Randomized Block Design with three replications during kharif 2005-2006. The observations on five randomly selected plants were recorded for days to flower initiation, plant height, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, number of fruits per plant, average fruit length, average fruit girth

    GENETIC ANALYSIS OF FRUIT YIELD AND QUALITY CHARACTERS IN CUCUMBER (Cucumis sativus L.)"
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2006) P.K.Kevadia; Dr. J.A. Patel
    The present investigation comprised of 28 F1s developed from eight parents through diallel mating design excluding reciprocals in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) was carried out at Main Vegetable Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during late kharif crop season of the year 2004-05. The experimental material (28 F1s and 8 parents) was evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The objectives of the investigation were to study heterosis, gene effects and combining ability effects for fruit yield and its component characters, growth attributes and quality parameters.

    GENETIC ANALYSIS FOR YIELD AND ITS COMPONENTS IN GRAIN AMARANTH (Amaranthus species)
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2006) H.J.Pandya; Dr. A. D. Patel
    The present investigation was carried out using fifty genotypes of Amaranth (Amaranthus species) in Randomized Block Design with three replications at Plant Breeding Farm, B.A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during rabi 2004-05. As the information on genetic parameters under middle Gujarat condition is scarce in literature, hence, this work was under taken to elucidate information on variation, heritability, genetic advance, character association as well as direct and indirect effects of different characters contributing towards grain yield in amaranthus and to get an account of performance of genotypes and characters to be favored during selection to get a stable, high yielding genotype

    GENETIC ANALYSIS FOR YIELD AND ITS COMPONENTS IN TOMATO (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2006) U. J. Patel; Dr. K. B. Kathiria
    The genetic architecture of fruit yield and its related eleven traits viz., days to flower initiation, days to first picking, primary branches per plant, plant height (cm), fruit length (cm), fruit girth (cm), locules per fruit, pericarp thickness (mm), fruit weight (g), fruits per plant and total soluble solids in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) were investigated through generation mean analysis using six basic generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, B1 and B2 ) of five crosses Feb 4 x KS 17, GT 2 x KS 17, Sel 14 x KS 118, GT 2 x GT 1 and SL 120 x Angur Lata.

    GENETICS OF YIELD, MORPHOLOGICAL ATTRIBUTES AND RESISTANCE TO ROOT-KNOT NEMATODE IN COWPEA (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.)
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2006) B.R.Patel; Dr. D. R. Patel
    The present study conducted at Department of Plant Breeding and Cytogenetics, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, during summer 2004 was comprised of six generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, B1 and B2) of six crosses viz., I (ACP-43 x Pusa Phalguni), II (ACP-65 x Pusa Phalguni), III (ACP-126 x Pusa Phalguni), IV (ACP-139 x Pusa Phalguni), V (GC-1 x ACP-41) and VI (ACP-66 x ACP-142) involving 9 pure lines and laid out in a compact family block design replicated four times for the estimation of genetic parameters (Gene action, heterosis, inbreeding depression, heritability and genetic advance) for yield, yield components and resistance to root-knot nematodes in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.).

    Genetic analysis for yield and its components in NPT and elite genotypes of rice (Oryza sativa L.)
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2006) P.P.Patel; Dr. A. M. Mehta
    Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most important food crop of the world; but for the present rate of population growth, yield level of rice has to be increased to the tune of 25-30 % from the present level. To overcome future likely problems, of food shortage and hunger, IRRI has been exploring the possibility of further modifying the present high yielding plant type known as “New Plant Type” since 1989. The present investigation of NPT and elite genotypes of rice was undertaken to estimate variability, correlation and direct and indirect effects of different characters contributing towards grain yield by path analysis

    LINE × TESTER ANALYSIS USING MALE STERILITY FOR GREEN FRUIT YIELD AND QUALITY COMPONENTS IN CHILLI (Capsicum annuum var. longum (D.C.) Sendt
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2006) H.B.Patel; Dr. M. M. Bhatt
    Chilli is an important vegetable crop from Solanaceae family. Due to wide variability, it holds potential for further improvement. The present investigation on chilli comprised of 5 GMS based females, 8 males, 40 F1 hybrids and check variety ARCH-228. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with 3 replications at Main Vegetable Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand, during kharif-rabi 2005-2006. Heterosis, combining ability and components of genetic variance were studied for 15 characters viz. days to flower initiation, plant height, number of primary branches, number of secondary branches, plant width, number of fruits per plant, average fruit length, average fruit diameter, average shape index, average fruit weight, green fruit yield per plant, chlorophyll content, capsaicin content, moisture content and seeds weight to fruit weight ratio
