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.

    CHEMICAL CONTROL OF SEED-BORNE PATHOGENIC FUNGI AND POWDERY MILDEW OF OKRA (ABELMOSCHUS ESCULENTUS (L.) MOENCH)
    (AAU, Anand, 1979) KODAG, P. B.; PATEL, A. J.
    Seed-borne pathogens play a vital role In causing diseases of okra crop. With a view to study mycoflora and their role seven seed samples were tested for assooiated fungi. The isolation was made tm potato Dextrose Agar with and without pretreatment with 0.1 per cent mereuric chloride. In all 8 £ungi were detected, out of which species of fusarium, Rhizoctonia and Altenaria were found highly pathogenic which caused heavy emergence loss both under laboratory and glass-house conditions. In order to find out immediate control of this pathogenic fungi, 11 seed dressers were tested for their efficacy in laboratory conditions. Ceresan dry, Bavistin, Benlate, Brassicol and Thiram were found effective in checking emergence loss under laboratory conditions. These effective fungicides tested as seed dressers in glass house conditions. The results obtained from both the experiments revealed that Ceresan dry 0.2 per cent was the most effective seed dresser in controlling emergence loss due to pathogenic seed mycoflora, viz. Fusarium spp., Rhizoctonia spp. and Alternaria spp.

    ANTHRACNOSE OF TOBACCO AND ITS CHEMICAL CONTROL
    (AAU, Anand, 1979) PATEL, SUKHADEVBHAI T.; PATEL, A. J.
    Tobacco anthracnose caused by Collectotrichum dematium(Pers. ex Fr. ) Grove occurs during the nursery period. Its appearance mostly starts from lower leaves as small water soaked spots which later develop into circular, dark, pinpoint size measuring 1-3 mm in diameter. Septate mycelium is black in colour. Unicellular curved conidia are produced on short conidiophores in acervuli. Black setae are present. Out of seven media, fungus grew best on potato dextrose agar. Two percent sucrose enhanced the growth.
