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, Correlation and Path Analysis for Seed Yield and its components in Green gram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2014) SHEETAL RAMESH PATEL; Dr. K. K. Patel
    The present study was carried-out to assess genetic variability, characters association and path analysis for seed yield and component characters in forty genotypes of mungbean grown in a Randomized Block Design with three replications at the Hill Millets Research Station, A.A.U., Dahod during kharif season of the year 2012. The observations were recorded on twelve characters viz., days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, number of primary branches per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per cluster, number of pods per plant, pod length, number of seeds per pod, 100-seed weight, seed yield per plant and protein content

    “GENETIC VARIABILITY, CORRELATION AND PATH ANALYSIS IN RED RICE GENOTYPES (Oryza sativa L.)”
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2014) A.S.Patil; Dr. M. G. Makwana
    Genetic variability, correlation and path coefficients, were studied in 59 red and 4 white rice genotypes during Kharif - 2011 at Main Rice Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Nawagam. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences for all the characters under study. Characters like grain yield per plant, plant height, number of productive tillers per plant, number of grains per panicle, number of filled grains per panicle, 1000 grain weight, grain breadth, grain L:B ratio and harvest index had high genotypic coefficient of variances, high heritability and moderate to high genetic advance expressed as percentage of mean indicating that phenotypic selection could be effective in improvement of these characters. Iron and zinc content had high genotypic coefficient of variation, high heritability and low to moderate genetic advance as percentage of mean. The estimates of genotypic coefficient of variation and genetic advance were low to moderate for days to 50% flowering, panicle length, number of total tillers per plant, grain length, hulling and milling percentage

    GENETIC VARIABILITY AND CHARACTERS ASSOCIATION AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION IN SESAME (Sesamum indicum L.)
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2014) MADAN MOHAN AGRAWAL; Dr. Sneha Macwana
    Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an important oilseed crop of the world. It is the fourth largest oilseed crop in Indian agriculture after groundnut, rapeseed and mustard. Sesame is described as the “Queen of oilseeds” because it contains high oil (38-54%), protein (18- 25%), calcium, phosphorous, oxalic acid and excellent qualities of seed oil and meal. Any successful crossing programme for varietal improvement depends mainly on selection of the parents having high genetic variability so that the desirable character combinations may be selected for higher seed yield. Thus, the genetic variability in breeding population for development of high yielding varieties is of immense importance

    Molecular Analysis of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Genotypes for Quality Traits
    (AAU, Anand, 2014) George Xavier; Dr. G. C. Jadeja
    Rice is one of the important staple food crops of India and its grain quality receives paramount importance in breeding programmes. Hence an attempt was made to undertake Molecular Analysis of 36 Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Genotypes for Quality Traits at Anand Agricultural University, Anand, by using different molecular techniques. Analysis of physical and cooking quality traits revealed that the maximum kernel length (7.30 mm) was observed in Pusa-1121, maximum kernel breadth (2.03 mm) was observed in NWGR-7050, and maximum L/B ratio was exhibited by NWGR-3042 (4.56 mm). The maximum kernel length after elongation (10.70 mm) was recorded in NWGR-3110, while maximum kernel elongation ratio (1.84 mm) was found in NWGR-5070. The maximum volume expansion ratio (4.93 ml) was observed in two genotypes, viz., IET- 21261 and NWGR-7050. The maximum water uptake (390 ml) was registered in GAR-13 and NWGR-7028. The maximum alkaline score of 6 was noticed in 12 genotypes. Among 35 genotypes studied, amylose content ranged from 20 to 30%.

    GENETIC VARIABILITY, CORRELATION AND PATH ANALYSIS FOR CURED LEAF YIELD AND ITS COMPONENTS IN RUSTICA TOBACCO [Nicotiana rustica (L.)]
    (AAU, Anand, 2014) SUMAN PARAJULI; Dr. D. A. Patel
    Tobacco is an important cash crop in India. The estimates of variability, correlation coefficient and direct and indirect effects of different characters contributing towards the cured leaf yield in different tobacco genotypes are of great value to breeders in making effective selection for yield and other quality characters. The present investigation was carried out with 40 genotypes of rustica tobacco in randomized complete block design with three replications at Bidi Tobacco Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during rabi 2012-2013. Genetic variability, correlation coefficient and path analysis were studied for 11 characters viz., cured leaf yield, days to flowering, number of leaves per plant, plant height, leaf length, leaf width, leaf thickness, days to maturity, nicotine content, chloride content and reducing sugar content.
