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 SPACING, NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF LILY (Hymenocallis speciosa L.) UNDER MIDDLE GUJARAT AGRO-CLIMATIC CONDITION
    (AAU, Anand, 1997) George, MISS Ligi Mary; KIKANI, K. P.
    A field experiment was conducted at the College Nursery of B.A. College of Agriculture, Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand during the year 1996-97 with the objectives of studying the effect of spacing, nitrogen and phosphorus on the growth and yield of lily with 24 treatment combinations in a Randomized Block Design with factorial concepts which were replicated thrice, considering three levels of spacing (60 x 30 cm, 60 x 45 cm and 60 x 60 cm), four levels of nitrogen (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg/ha) and two levels of phosphorus (0 and 50 kg/ha) and their combinations.

    EFFECT OF PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS AND CHEMICAL ON THE GROWTH, SEX BEHAVIOUR, YIELD AND QUALITY OF WATERMELON (Citrllus lanatus (Thunbs.) Mansf.) CV. ''ARKA MANIK
    (AAU, Anand, 1997) PATEL, SHAILESH THAKORBHAI; JOSHI, K. I.
    An investigation was carried out at the Horticulture Research Farm, Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand during the year 1997, to assess the response of various plant growth regulators (TIBA at 50, 100, 200 and 400 ppm; CCC at 100, 200, 400 and 800 ppm) and chemical (AgNO3 at 50,100, 200 and 400 ppm) on growth, sex behaviour, yield and quality of watermelon cv. Arka Manik. This study revealed that application of CCC 800 ppm at 2 true leaf stage and 4 leaf stage significantly reduced the length of main axis and number of male flowers. AgNO3 400 ppm lowered the niunber of node and days to first male and female flower appearance. AgNO3 200 ppm increased the number of branches per vine and number of female flowers and lowered the male:female sex ratio and stem length and increased the number of fruits per vine and yield per hectare foUowed by TIBA 200 ppm. Fruit weight, length and girth of fruit increased in control treatment CCC 400 ppm significantly produced the highest T.S.S and total sugar. From the results of the investigation, it could be inferred that AgNO3 200 ppm was most effective in improving femaleness and yield, and also reduced the growth of watermelon cv. Arka Manik followed by TIBA 20O ppm.

    EFFECT OF PRE-SOWING SEED TREATMENTS ON GERMINATION AND GROWTH OF SEEDLINGS OF CUSTARD APPLE ( Annona Squamosa Linn.)
    (AAU, Anand, 1997) Patel, Nitin N.; JOSHI, K. I.
    The present experiment was carried out in the laboratory as well as at the nursery of the horticulture section, B.A. College of Agriculture, Anand during the year 1996. An experiment, was laid cut in Completely Randomized Design with two factors having five repetitions but the statistical analysis of data through parametric method (ANOVA) showed large variation (high Cv per cent) in each trair. Therefore data were analysed using nonparametric method (Rank analysis). Custard apple seeds were soaked in distilled water and cattle-dung for 24 nours and in concentrated H2SO4 for 2 and 4 minutes and then were dried on gunny bag for 12 hours. Thereafter the seeds were soaked in different concentration of gibberellic acid viz,.h

    EFFECT OF PRE-SOWING SEED TREATMENTS ON GERMINATION AND GROWTH OF SEEDLINGS OF CUSTARD APPLE ( Annona Squamosa Linn.)
    (AAU, Anand, 1997-03) Patel, Nitin N.; JOSHI, K. I.
    An experiment was laid cut in Completely Randomized Design with two factors having five repetitions but the Statistical analysis of data through parametric method (ANOVA) snowed large variation (high Cv per cent) in each trail. Therefore data were analysed using non parametric method (Rank analysis). Custard apple seeds were soaked in distilled water and cattle-dung for 24 hours and m concentrated H2SO4 for 2 and 4 minutes and then were dried on gunny bag for 12 hours. Thereafter the seeds were soaked in different concentration of gibberellic acid viz,. 250 and 500ppm for 12 hours and then were dried on gunny bag for 12 hours. Again treated seeds were soaked in gibberallic acid solution for 12 hours. All the treatments were tried in respect to germination, plumule length, radicle length and number of secondary roots in the laboratory experiment, where as germination, seedling height, number of leaves and stem thickness in the pot experiment.
