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.

INFLUENCE OF DECAPITATION, PARTIAL ROOT PRUNING AND EXOGENOUS APPLICATION OF PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS ON THE GROWTH, YIELD AND QUALITY OF POTATO
(AAU, Anand, 1980) PATEL, BABUBHAI MAGANBHAI; Majmudar, A. M.
The response of potato var Up-to-date in respect of its growth, yield and quality was studied by altering the natural hormonal balance through pruning treatments as well as hormonal sprays. The three pruning treatments were - (A) normal plants (intact I.e. without any pruning treatment), (B) decapitated plants (pinching off of the apex of each sprout) and (C) partly root pruned plants (cutting the roots from all the four sides of the sprout at a distance of 10 cm from the main stem). The level of KIN used were 0, 15, 30 and 60 ppm; those of IAA were 50, 100 and 200 ppm and those of GA were 50, 100 and 150 ppm. Pruning treatments were given at 7-9 leaf stage, while single spray of IAA and GA was given at 10-12 leaf stage and that, a single foliar spray of KIN was superimposed (over IAA and GA) at 15-17 leaf stage.

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.

STUDIES ON PHOSPHORUS NUTRITION OF MANGO
(AAU, Anand, 1981) REDDY, S. ESWARA; MAJMUDAR, A. M.
The concentration and amount of phosphorus and some micronutrients were estimated in leaves, stems, wood and bark of trunk and the larger roots of five year old Langra mango grafts as also leaves and stems of four types of shoots as well as the bark of older orchard trees of the some variety. The quantities of phosphorus in the tree were shown to be low in September, November and March and high in December and January. To facilitate comparison of quantities of monthly changes in the quantities of nutrients in different parts by overcoming the high variability in the size of the sampled tree, a recalculation of the quantities of phosphorus on the basis of a constant weight of the tree were worked out.

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

EFFECT OF MULCHING ON GROWTH, YIELD AND QUALITY OF POTATO (Solanmn tuberosum L.) Cv. KUFRl CHANDRAMUKHI
(AAU, Anand, 1990) Dixit, Chandrakant Kashiram; Majmudar, A. M.
An experiment in Randomized Block Design was laid out in two successive seasons, i.e. Winter of 1981-82 and 1902-03, on potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Cv. Kufri Chandramukhi at the Experimental Orchard of the Department of Horticulture, U. A. College of Agriculture, Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand to compare with control six treatments viz. mulching with paddy straw, rice husk, sawdust, black polyethylene, transparent polyethylene and mere earthing up once. This study revealed that soil temperatures were the lowest under the organic mulches. Soil moisture was measured at intervals and irrigations given when soil moisture reached 15.2 per cent i.e. 75 per cent available moisture. Mulches retained moisture above this level for longer periods and needed 3-4 irrigations less than the control. Li Growth parameters and grades of harvested potato tubers were noted and their correlation with yield tested. Starch, protein, ash and moisture content of tubers were estimated. Weed population was less under mulches other than the transparent polyethylene and early blight incidence was less under all mulches The yield of potato under paddy straw was the maximum and so also the large size potatoes. This was followed by rice husk and then by sawdust, black polyethylene and transparent polyethylene. Earthing up treatment and control were the last and at par with each other. Starch content of tubers was the highest whereas protein and ash contents were the lowest under paddy straw mulch. Economic benefit was worked out Benefit which showed maximum/by mulching potato with paddy straw.
