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.

    HETEROSIS AND COMBINING ABILITY STUDY FOR YIELD AND ITS COMPONENTS IN CASTOR (Ricinus communis L.)”
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2011) PATEL PRANAYKUMAR CHANDUBHAI; Amit Dadheech
    In the present investigation, the information regarding heterosis and combining ability was obtained for 12 plant characters including seed yield and its component traits in castor. The experimental material for present study comprised of 15 parents (10 testers and 5 lines), 50 hybrids and one standard check (GCH-7). The hybrids were developed by mating the parents in line x tester design. The experimental material was evaluated in randomized block design with three replications at Regional Research station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during Kharif 2010-11

    Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is an important non-food narcotic cash crop and a member of solanaceae family. The present investigation on bidi tobacco comprised of 11 parents, their 30 hybrids and one check, hybrid MRGTH 1. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications at Bidi Tobacco Research Station (BTRS), Anand Agricultural University, Anand, during kharif season 2010-11. Heterosis and combining ability analysis were carried out for nine characters viz; cured leaf yield per plant, days to flowering, number of leaves per plant, plant height, leaf length, leaf width, days to maturity, nicotine content and total reducing sugar content. Analysis of variance revealed highly significant

    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2011) GADE ABHIJIT ANANT; Dr. K. K. Patel
    Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) is the world’s sixth and India’s fourth important and widely grown potential food cereal crop. The objectives of present investigation are to generate information on magnitude of relative heterosis, heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis, gene effects and combining ability effects for grain yield and its important components. The experimental material was comprised of 7 CGMS lines, 10 inbreds, their 70 hybrids and 3 standard check hybrids were evaluated in randomized block design at Regional Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during kharif 2009. The observations were recorded on fourteen different

    HETEROSIS AND COMBINING ABILITY ANALYSIS IN CASTOR (Ricinus communis L.)”
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2011) PUNEWAR ASHISH ASHOK; Dr. Bharat N. Patel
    Castor [Ricinus communis (L.)] is an important non-edible oilseed crop of arid and semi-arid regions of world. Castor oil has tremendous medicinal and industrial uses. The seed yield of castor is directly/indirectly influenced by several factors, out of which sex expression i.e., per cent pistillate whorls is very important. Castor is a sexually polymorphic species with different sex forms viz., monoecious, pistillate, hermaphrodite and pistillate with interspersed staminate flowers (ISF); therefore, its improvement needs special attention. The objectives of present investigation are to generate information on magnitude of heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis; gene effects and combining ability effects for seed yield and its important components. The experimental material was comprised of 3 pistillate lines, 13 inbreds, 1 standard check hybrid and 39 hybrids developed through line x tester mating

    HETEROSIS AND COMBINING ABILITY STUDIES IN QUALITY PROTEIN MAIZE [ Zea mays L.]”
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2011) HARSHAL ASHOK AVINASHE; Dr. S. M. Khanorkar
    Maize is an important cross pollinated cereal crop belong to family Poaceae. Due to wide genetic variability, it has potential to improve crop as and when need arise. The present investigation entitled “Heterosis and combining ability studies in quality protein maize (Z. mays L.)” which comprised of 15 lines, 3 testers, 45 single cross hybrids and three checks viz., HQPM-1 and HM-5 (single cross hybrids) and Gujarat Makai-2 (variety). The experiment laid out in randomized block design with three replications at Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during kharif 2010.

    GENERATION MEAN ANALYSIS FOR FRUIT QUALITY DETERMINING CHARACTERS IN BRINJAL (Solanum melongena L.)
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2013) SRIKANTH SABOLU; Dr. K. B. Kathiria
    Generation mean analysis for ten fruit quality traits in brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) were investigated using six generations in four crosses Doli-5 × GBL-1, Doli-5 × KS-331, Pusa Uttam × KS-331 and AB 07-02 × GOB 1 in kharif-rabi 2010-11. Analysis of variance showed significant differences between families and also among the generations within the crosses for all the characters. This indicated the presence of sufficient variability in the materials under investigation. The individual scaling tests and joint scaling tests indicated adequacy of
