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.

    STUDIES ON WILT COMPLEX OF CHICKPEA (Cicer arietinum L.) AND ITS MANAGEMENT
    (DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PATHOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, ANAND, 2020) Parmar Harshil V.; Dr. N. M. Gohel
    Pulses constitute an important dietary ingredient of the oriental food due to their high protein content. The importance of pulses is much more in a country like India, where the majority of the people are vegetarian. Chickpea is a major source of protein for millions of people. To meet the ever-increasing demand for this legume crop, it is essential to manage the various stresses impacting the crop yield. The crop is affected by a number of diseases of which, chickpea wilt complex is considered the most important, devastating and challenging one, being responsible for seed rot, seedling blight, root rot and mature plant wilt. The disease usually caused by two or more pathogens is referred to as multipathogenic disease or disease complex. Management of wilt complex of chickpea is difficult to achieve as the pathogens are soil-borne, surviving through resistant structure i.e. chlamydospores and sclerotia in the soil for years even in the absence of host and the crop remains susceptible throughout all the growth stages. To overcome such issues, biological control is one of the best, low-cost and ecologically sustainable methods for managing plant diseases caused by soil-borne pathogens.
