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.

    EFFECT OF POST HARVEST TREATMENTS ON RIPENING CHANGES AND QUALITY OF MANGO FRUITS (Mangifera indica L.) CVS 'KESAR' AND 'AMRAPALI
    (AAU, Anand, 1989) SINGH, DHIRENDRA BAHADUR; Chundawat, B. S.
    Present investigation on the effect of post harvest treatments on ripening changes and quality of mango fruits (Mangifera indicaL.) CVS 'Kesar' and 'Amrapali' was conducted at the research laboratory of the Department of Horticulture, B.A.College of Agriculture, Gujarat Agricultural University , Anand Campus, Anand in the year 1987-88 and.1988-89. This study revealed that ripening of fruits at controlled temperature (22-25°C and RH 85-90 %) significantly increased the number of days required for ripening reduced the physiological loss in weight (PDf) and fruit damage. This was followed by GA 150 ppm + Bavistin 1000 ppm treatment. Quality of ripe fruits in terms of high TSS, Yitamin-C and total Sugars and low level of acidity was also highest in controlled temperature treatment. In pre-ripening treatment of mango fruits with GA 150 ppm + Bavistin 1000 ppm, the overall quality of ripe fruit barring Vit-C which was higher than control, was at par with control fruits. This indicates that this treatment has tendency towards higher quality or with no adverse effect on quality what so ever. These treatments slowed down the process of ripening by retarding the activities of Peroxidase, Catalase and PME enzymes . and reduced the rate of respiration and ethylene production initially and postponed the climacteric peak.

    STUDIES ON NUTRIENT UPTAKE IN CORIANDER (Coriandrum sativum L.) UNDER DIFFERENT LEVELS OF FERTILIZATION
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) UGHREJA, P. P.; Chundawat, B. S.
    The present investigation on “Studies on nutrient uptake in Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) under different levels of fertilization’’ was carried out on two locations (i) Jagudan and (ii) Deesa, Gujarat Agricultural University, Sardar Krushinagar Campus under North Gujarat conditions in rabi season of 1984-85. The results revealed that fertilizer application significantly altered nutrient uptake leading to increased plant height, number of branches, number of umbels per plant, number of grains per primary umbel and grain weight which ultimately resulted into higher total grains per plant.

    INTEGRATED APPROACH TO THE USE OF PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS AND UREA ON MANGO ( Mangifera indica L.) cv. ' LANGRA'
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) KIKANI, K. P.; Chundawat, B. S.
    The present investigation on the “Integrated approach to the use of plant growth regulators and urea on mango cv. ‘Langrage’ “revealed that application of coca (500 ppm0 followed by telephone (200 ppm) increased overall flowering. This treatment was also effective for increasing flowering on fruited terminals of previous year as well as on terminals of October flush. Post – harvest application of urea (2 per cent) also increased the flowering in following season in all types of vegetative growth

    STUDIES ON NITROGEN NUTRITION OF MANGO (STORAGE AND UTILIZATION)
    (AAU, Anand, 1985) PATEL, ZAVERBHAI BHAGWANDAS; MAJMUDAR, A. M.
    the concentration and amount of nitrogen were estimated in roots, bark, wood, stems, leaves, new vegetative growth viz. new branches, new leaves and reproductive growth viz. flowers and fruits of five years old mango grafts as also leaves and stems i.e. shoots (bearing surface) of adult orchard bearing trees of the cultivar Langara. The quantities of nitrogen in the whole tree was distinctly higher in July to February with an exception of November, a preinitiation period. It declined from march to May for nourishing the developing fruits.
