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.

    STATUS OF SEED MYCOFLORA OF MUNGBEAN [Vigna radiata (L.)Wilczek] CULTIVARS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT
    (2017) CHAUDHARI RAMEELA I.; Dr. V. R. GOHEL
    Mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) is one of the most important and extensively cultivated pulse crops. It is commonly known as “mung”, “greengram” or “mungbean”. In India, pulses can be produced with a minimum use of resources and hence, it becomes less costly even than animal protein. It is an excellent source of protein considered as a “poor men’s protein”. Diseases are the major constraint in economic crop production as they inflict heavy losses. Contaminated seed can often result in poor germination and poor seedling vigour, resulting in an un-healthy crop. Field fungus associated with seeds cause deterioration of seed quality, affect viability and reduces germination.

    STUDIES ON SPAWN PRODUCTION AND EFFECT OF DIFFERENT SUBSTRATES ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF PINK OYSTER MUSHROOM
    (DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PATHOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) MANDAVIYA TARUN K.; Dr. A. B. BRAHMBHATT
    Mushroom, a tasteful and glorious fruit body of edible fungi, is a gift given by God to the world. Oyster mushroom is the third most popularly grown mushroom in the world. In India, Oyster mushroom is one of the commonly grown species. The earliest word in Sanskrit for mushroom appears to be ‘Ksumpa’ and in the present day ‘Khumbi’, ‘Chhatra’, ‘Kukurmutta’ and ‘Bhumi kavak’ are commonly used for mushroom in India. They are of various shapes, sizes, and colours and appeal to different people in different ways. Mushroom contains 19-35% of protein (On dry weight basis) which is higher than that of found in vegetables and fruits and is of superior quality. India ranks 16th (40,000 tonnes) in production of mushroom and truffles in the world. Production of mushroom in India during 2015-2016 become 76 MT.

    STUDIES ON DRY ROOT ROT [Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid.] OF MUNGBEAN [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] AND ITS MANAGEMENT
    (2017) Patel Hemaliben B.; Dr. N. M. Gohel
    Pulses play an important role in improving livelihood and nutritional security of the people. In a country like India, where majority of the population is vegetarian, the cheap and best sources of protein are pulses, especially for the poor people. Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] is one of the most important and extensively cultivated pulse crop belonging to the family Fabaceae. It is an excellent source of high quality protein. The crop is affected by a number of pests and diseases of which dry root rot incited by Macrophomina phaseolina is an economically important disease. Soil and seed borne nature of the pathogen creates difficulties for an effective disease management. Considering the importance of the disease, the present study on various aspects of the disease was carried out in Department of Plant Pathology, B. A. Collage of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand-388 110 during 2016 and 2017 for developing an effective and economical management strategies for the disease.

    DETECTION AND MANAGEMENT OF SEED MYCOFLORA ASSOCIATED WITH GROUNDNUT CULTIVARS
    (DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PATHOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, ANAND, 2017) Vaghela Kesharsinh D.; Dr. N. M. Gohel
    Groundnut or peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a crop of global importance, also known as “King of oilseeds”. It is widely grown in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Quality of seeds play a very important role for the production of healthy crop. A seed-borne pathogen present externally or internally or associated with the seed as contaminant may caused seed abortion, seed rot, seed necrosis, reduction or elimination of germination capacity as well as caused biochemical changes in infected seeds. Therefore, the present investigation was carried out on “Detection and management of seed mycoflora associated with groundnut cutivars”

    SEED HEALTH STATUS OF COWPEA [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] AND ITS MANAGEMENT
    (DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PATHOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, ANAND, 2017) Vasava Kamal I.; Dr. V. R. Gohel
    Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) is one of the most ancient human food sources and has probably been used as a crop plant since Neolithic times. A lack of archaeological evidence has resulted in contradicting views supporting Africa, Asia and South America as origin. Seed mycoflora have lion share as seed pathogen. Investigations were carried out on seed health status of cowpea and its management in respect of seed abnormalities, seed mycoflora load, seed germinability, seedling vigour, discoloration intensity of seedlings, management through fungicides, phytoextracts, T. viride and cow urine, persistence of fungicides in treated seeds and culture filtrate effect on seed germination and seedling vigour on seeds of cowpea varieties.
