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.

    PHENOTYPIC AND MOLECULAR MARKER BASED DIVERSITY ANALYSIS IN CHICKPEA (Cicer arietinum L.)
    (Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding B. A. College of Agriculture Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2017) Gediya Lalji N.; Dr. D. A. Patel
    Among the pulses, chickpea is a most important rabi crop with high acceptability and wider use. The present investigation was carried out with 58 genotypes of chickpea in randomized complete block design with three replications at Genetics and Plant Breeding Farm, B. A. college of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during rabi 2016-17. The objective of present investigation was to estimate the extent of variability present in chickpea genotypes with respect to yield and its component traits, genotypic and phenotypic correlations among different traits, direct and indirect effects of different characters contributing towards seed yield by path coefficient analysis, genetic diversity among chickpea genotypes through Mahalanobis D2 statistics and molecular diversity using SSR marker.

    ESTIMATE OF GENETIC PARAMETER, CHARACTER ASSOCIATION, PATH ANALYSIS AND GENETIC DIVERGENCE ANALYSIS IN PUMPKIN [Cucurbita moschata Duch. ex. poir.]
    (DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDING B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Deep J. Chaudhari; Dr. R. R. Acharya
    An experiment comprising of forty diverse genotypes of pumpkin [Cucurbita moschata Duch. ex. Poir.] was conducted in randomized complete block design with two replications during kharif 2016 at Main Vegetable Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand to study the genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance, characters association, path coefficient analysis and genetic diversity. Each genotype was represented by accommodating seven plants in single row spaced at 2 × 1 m distance. Observations were recorded on three plants excluding border plants for the sixteen characters viz., fruit yield per plant, days to opening of first male flower, days to opening of first female flower, first male flowering node, first female flowering node, number of fruits per plant, days to harvesting, polar circumferences of fruit, equatorial circumferences of fruit, fruit weight, flesh thickness, number of seeds per fruit, test weight of 100 seeds, total soluble solids, total sugar and ß-carotene content.

    DIALLEL ANALYSIS OF FRUIT YIELD AND ITS COMPONENT TRAITS IN BOTTLE GOURD [Lagenaria siceraria (Mol.) Standl.]
    (DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDING B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) NIVA DOLOI; Dr. J. N. PATEL
    The present investigation comprised of 45 F1s developed from ten parents through diallel mating design excluding reciprocals in bottle gourd [Lagenaria siceraria (Mol.) Standl.] was carried out at the research farm of the Main Vegetable Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during kharif crop season in the year 2016. The experimental material (45 F1s and 10 parents) was evaluated in a randomized complete block design with two replications. The objectives of this study was to investigate the per se performance, magnitude of heterosis, combining ability and gene effects for fruit yield and its component characters.

    GENETIC ANALYSIS AND SEED LONGEVITY STUDIES IN SESAME (Sesamum indicum L.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDING B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Gunjan S. Patel; Dr. Sasidharan
    The present investigation was conducted in two parts to study the heterosis, combining ability, gene effects for seed yield and yield attributing characters following diallel analysis and longevity of seeds through accelerated ageing involving ten genotypes in sesame. The experimental material comprising of ten parents, forty five crosses and one standard check GT-2 were grown in a randomized complete block design with three replications during summer 2016 at the Agronomy farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, while seed longevity studies was carried out in Department of Seed Science and Technology, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand.

    GENETIC VARIABILITY, CORRELATION AND PATH ANALYSIS OF SEED YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS IN TOBACCO (Nicotiana tabacum L.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDING B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Patel Ami Bharatbhai; Dr. M. G. Makwana
    Genetic variability, correlation and path coefficients were studied in 48 genotypes of tobacco during kharif 2015-2016 at Bidi Tobacco Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences for all characters under study. Characters viz., seed yield per plant, days to fifty per cent flowering, number of leaves per plant, plant height, number of branches per plant, number of capsules per plant, test weight, khakhri yield per plant and harvest index had high genotypic coefficient of variance, high heritability and high genetic advance expressed as percentage of mean indicating that phenotypic selection could be effective in improvement of these characters. The estimates for above parameters were low for seed oil per cent except heritability.
