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.

    EFFECT OF CYCOCEL (CCC) ON YIELD AND ITS COMPONENTS AND OUTPUT OF SENNOSIDES IN SENNA (Cassia angustjfolia Vahl.)
    (AAU, Anand, 1984) Wani, Shamsundar S.; Shah, R. R.
    Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of cycocel (CCC) in senna (Cassia angustifolia Vahl.) at different concentrations, viz. 50, 100 and 500 mg/l and applied as foliar spray at two different stages of growth period, I.e. at seedling, S1 (20th day after sowing) and/or before flower initiation, S2 (40th day after sowing). These studies were undertaken to know how far CCC can manipulate the plant characteristics and hence the yield. Field trials were conducted during summer and kharif seasons of 1982. Considering all the three pickings of kharif season, CCC sprayed at 50 mg/l have recorded highest yield (fresh and dry weight of leaves) which had edge over other sprayings.

    EFFECT OF GROWTH REGULATORS ON YIELD AND ITS COMPONENTS IN COWPEA (VIGNA UNGUICULATA L.)
    (AAU, Anand, 1983) PATEL, ASHVIN H.; SHAH, R. R.
    Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of growth regulators (CCC and NAA) in cowpea Var. Pusa phalguni (Vigna unguiculata L.) at different concentrations (50, 100 and 20 mg/l) and applied as foliar spary at two different stages of growth period, i.e. at seedling (20th day after sowing) and/or before flower initiation (40th day after sowing). These studies were performed to know how far growth regulators are manipulate the plant and ultimately how the yield attributes are influenced. Field trials were conducted during summer of 1982 and 1983.

    EFFECT OF GROWTH REGULATORS ON YIELD AND ITS COMPONENTS IN OKRA ( Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench)
    (AAU, Anand, 1987) BHATT, RASIK P.; SHAH, R. R.
    The experiment was conducted to determine the effect of growth regulators (ethrel and NAA) at different concentrations (100, 200 and 400 mg/l ethrel and 25, 50 and 100 mg/l NAA) and sprayed at two different stages viz., 27 and 45 days after sowing, on growth, yield, yield attributes and various physiological parameters in three okra varieties (Pusa Sawani, Gujarat Okra-1 and Padra-18-6) during kharif season of 1985. This study was performed with three main objectives. First, to increase the yield potentially of different varieties of okra and their response to different growth regulators when used as foliar spary; second, to find out the most effective growth regulators i. e. ethrel or NAA and its concentration, and third, to investigate the effect of growth regulators on various physiological parameters and other growth/yield attributes.

    YIELD AND YIELD ATTRIBUTES OF SIX DRY WHEAT (Triticum durum Desf) VARIETIES
    (AAU, Anand, 1987) PANDYA, JAYSUKHLAL N.; Shah, R. R.
    The present investigation conducted in Rabi 1983 at A.R.S., Dhandhuka, envisages the relationship between different growth and yield attributes in six dry wheat varieties. The six varieties examined were A-206, A-28 G.W.1, G.W. 2, A-9-30-1 and D-1. During the course of experimentation various growth indices and certain physiological parameters were considered. Variety G.W.l recorded highest (1076 kg/ha), varieties A-9-30-1 (780 kg/ha) and D-1 (756 kg/ha) registered moderate and G.W. 2 (592 kg/ha), A-28(573 kg/ha) and A-206 (526 kg/ha) varieties recorded lower grain yield per hectare. Short duration variety G.W.I stood first in grain yield but this was not true for all of the entries. The intact of plant height on grain yield was not clear. Similarly, no conclusion could be drawn from the results on tillers per plant in different varieties. A rough relation between grain yield and test weight was noticed. Similar results were recorded in case of harvest index and grain yield. In general, higher dry matter production during early growth period produced higher yield. Similarly, higher root weight at early growth stages reflected in acre grain yield. On the other hand, association of stem and leaves dry natter accumulation was not clear with the yield. There was decline in RGB and LAR as the season advanced. No definite correlation was observed between RGR and grain yield. A rough relation was noticed between OSR and yield. In general, LAI increased with increase in dry setter. Grain yield increased with increase in LAI. This was very clear during the early growth stage. Similarly, in general, higher LAD values reflected in higher grain yield. No definite relation between grain yield and HAR vas noticed, However, in general, higher yielder varieties such as G.W. l, A-9-30-1, and D-l recorded lower values of NAR. This may be considered as indicative of a rough negative relation between grain yield and NAR. The results of the present investigation indicated that the harvest index, number of spikelets per ear, 1000-grain weight, crop maturity period, dry matter production, CGR, LAI, LAD etc., had more impact on grain production. The degree of their influence on yield may have yield in different varieties at different growth stages.

    PHYSIOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL BASIS OF PRODUCTIVITY IN MUNGBEAN (VIGNA RADIATA (ROXB.) WILCZEK.)
    (AAU, Anand, 1982) PUROHIT, KAMLESH R.; SHAH, R. R.
    The present investigation envisages the relationship between the physiological parameters and the environmental factors affecting the yield of two mungbean varieties, namely PIMS-1 and Guj-1. Two trials were conducted one during kharif 1980 and another during summer 1981, at two different dates of sowing in each season. During the course of experimentation various growth indices, certain physiological parameters as well as meteorological factors were considered. The fresh and dry weighs of whole plant the foliage as well as the roots reflected on yield. During kharif season higher fresh and dry weighs were conducted.

    EFFECT OF MEDIUM MANIPULATIONS ON IN VITRO REGENERATION OF LIQUORICE (Glycyrrhiza glabra Linn.) PLANTLETS AND THEIR SURVIVAL UNDER GREENHOUSE CONDITIONS
    (AAU, Anand, 1983) SHAH, PRAFULLA K.; SHAH, R. R.
    The present communication describes studies on vegetative propagation of liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra Linn.) (cc-111263-Russian culture) using tissue culture methodology. Factors influencing growth and differentiation were investigated. The plantlets thus obtained from axillary buds of Glycyrrhiza glabra Linn. cultured in basal MS media with varying carbohydrate sources and pH levels were transferred to green house conditions and their survival percent were recorded.
