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.

    “INFLUENCE OF PGRs ON REGULATION OF SEX EXPRESSION AND THEIR EFFECT ON GROWTH, FRUIT YIELD AND QUALITY OF CUCUMBER (Cucumis sativus L.) CV. GUJARAT CUCUMBER- 1’’
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2008) PATEL TEJASKUMAR VALJIBHAI; DR. R.G. JADAV
    An investigation was carried out at the Main Vegetables Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during the summer season of 2007, to assess the response of various plant growth regulators viz., Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) (100 and 200 ppm), Gibberellic acid (GA3) (10 and 20 ppm), Abscisic acid (ABA) (10 and 20 ppm), Kinetin (10 and 20 ppm), Ethrel (200 and 300 ppm) and control on growth, sex expression, yield and quality of cucumber cv. Gujarat cucumber-1. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with twelve treatments and three replications. Application of growth regulators was done twice i.e. first spray at the 2 true leaf stage and the second spray at 4 true leaf stage.

    “EFFECT OF POST HARVEST APPLICATION OF GROWTH REGULATORS, WAX EMULSION AND PACKAGING ON PHYSICAL CHARACTERS AND SHELF LIFE OF BANANA CV. “ROBUSTA
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2008) Macwan Richard M.; Dr. N. J. Vihol
    Banana (Musa paradisiaca L.), which belongs to the family Musaceae, is one of the most important fruit crops of the world. Banana being perishable in nature, can not be stored well for a longer period of time at ambient temperature. For good market price it is required that fruit must be transported to the distant market without spoilage. The present study is undertaken to investigate the “Effect of post harvest application of growth regulators, wax emulsion and packaging on physical characters and shelf life of Banana cv. “Robusta”. This experiment was conducted at the laboratory of Department of Horticulture, B.A.College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during the year 2006 under Completely Randomized Design (Factorial) and repeated thrice with seven treatments and two storage conditions i.e. without packaging and with packaging. Each treatment consisted of one hand i. e. 12 fruits were dipped in the GA3 100 ppm and 150 ppm, Kinetin 10 ppm and 15 ppm for five (5) minutes and air dried for 30 minutes, while wax was weighed and it was dissolved in a hot water to make 10 liter solution
