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.

    MANAGEMENT OF ROOT ROT [Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid.] OF MUNGBEAN [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] THROUGH CONSORTIUM OF BIOAGENTS
    (Department of Plant Pathology B. A. College of Agriculture Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2018) Hingladiya Jignesh P.; Dr. R. G. Parmar
    Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek], belongs to the family Leguminaceae is believed to be introduced into India from West Asian sub-continent. Mungbean irritated from many diseases caused by biotic stresses viz., fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes and abiotic stresses. Many fungal which are responsible for drastically reduction of yield in mungbean, among them dry root rot [Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid.] is highly economic disease. Investigation on “Management of Root Rot [Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid.] of Mungbean [Vigna radiate (L.) Wilczek] through Consortium of Bioagents” was conducted at the Department of Plant Pathology, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during the year 2016-17.

    STUDIES ON SHEATH ROT OF RICE AND ITS MANAGEMENT
    (DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PATHOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) CHAUDHARI JIGAR J.; Dr. R. G. PARMAR
    Rice(Oryza sativaL.) a cereal plant of the family Gramineae extensively cultivated in warm climate, especially in East Asia, producing seeds that are cooked and used as staple food. Rice is a plant of Asian origin. Rice crop is known to suffer from many biotic and abiotic stresses. Rice in general and irrigated rice in particular, is the target of attack by more than 100 species of insects and pathogenic organisms that known to destabilize the yields. The sheath rot has been prevailing in Middle Gujarat and South Gujarat since 1985 and increasing day by day. In some years, it caused major quantitative and qualitative losses. Also in some varieties it was low to moderate and severe in few fields of different districts in Middle Gujarat and South Gujarat.Considering the importance of rising problem of sheath rot disease, investigations on following aspects related to sheath rot disease was carried out on Isolation, purification and pathogenicity of Sarocladiumoryzaecausing sheath rot of rice s creening of rice varieties for resistance to the pathogen, estimation of soluble proteinprotein, total phenoland peroxidase activity of infected and healthy tissues and evaluation of fungicides against sheath rot of rice in vitro and in vivo.
