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.

ThesisItem Open Access DEVELOPMENT OF MICROPROPAGATION PROTOCOL FOR LITTLE GOURD UNDER IN VITRO CONDITION(DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Patel Didhitee D.; Dr. A. P. TrivediCocciniagrandis(L.)Voigt.is commonally called as ivy gourd and little gourd. Cocciniagrandis belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, comprising 960 species. Most of the plants in Cucurbitaceae family are annual vines. It is aggressive wine, can form dense mats on lands that readily cover shrubs and small tree. Leaves are simple; shapes are different from the heart to pentagon shaped. Tendrils are simple. This tropical vine is native to Africa, and parts of Asia such as Thailand, Malaysia and India. In India, it is commercially cultivated in southern, eastern, and western regions, mainly in states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Telangana, and West Bengal. The presence of saponins, flavonoids, and polyphenols in little gourd may contribute to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of the leaves. It is extensively used in traditional medicine for the treatment of leprosy, jaundice, asthma, bronchitis, skin eruptions, burns, tongue sores, earache, indigestion, eye infections, nausea, insect bites and fever.ThesisItem Open Access STUDIES ON TURCICUM LEAF BLIGHT OF MAIZE AND IT’S MANAGEMENT”(DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PATHOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) ALPESHKUMAR BARAD; Dr. S. K. SinghMaize is a member of the grassy family Gramineae. It is third most important cereal crop in the world after wheat and rice. Maize is considered as the queen of cereals by virtue of contributing to about one-third of its production. Maize has became a staple food in many parts of the world used for corn ethanol, animal feed and other maize products, such as corn starch and corn syrup. Among the different diseases, turcicum leaf blight caused by Exserohilum turcicum (Pass.) Leonard and Suggs is the most important and destructive foliar disease in maize growing area of Gujarat and causing considerable yield loss.ThesisItem Open Access INFLUENCE OF CHEMICALS AND PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS ON GERMINATION AND MORPHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF ASHWAGANDHA (Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal)(DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Abhishek S.; Dr. Ashwin TrivediThe present investigation entitled “Influence of chemicals and plant growth regulators on germination and morpho-physiological parameters of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal)” was conducted at Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Research Station, AAU, Anand during the year 2017-18. The objectives of the experiment were to identify the superior chemicals/growth regulators to obtain optimum germination and morpho-physiological parameters of Ashwagandha. The experiment was carried out under laboratory and field conditions. The laboratory experiment was laid out in completely randomized design while the field experiment was laid out in randomized block design. Each experiment consists of eleven treatments with three replications. The variety used for the present investigation was Gujarat Anand Ashwagandha – 1. The seeds were subjected to eleven treatments consisting of soaking in plant growth regulators, (GA3 and kinetin, each of 250 and 500 mg/l for 6 hours), cow urine (soaking with 6 and 12 hours), chemicals (NaNO3 and KNO3, each of 4000 and 8000 mg/l for 6 hours) and soaking in distilled water for 6 hours as control.ThesisItem Open Access SEED HARDENING AND FOLIAR SPRAYING OF VARIOUS GROWTH REGULATORS AND CHEMICAL AND THEIR COMBINED EFFECT ON MORPHO-PHYSIOLOGY, GROWTH AND YIELD IN GREEN GRAM (Vigna radiata L.)(B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, 2018) Ramesh Shankar Bhadane; Dr. D. B. PatelGreen gram is the third important crop among the pulses in India. The major constraint in green gram crop is its low productivity. Scientists are focusing their research towards regulation of plant growth as an important factor in improving the production and quality with application of plant growth regulators and also by scientific approaches such as seed hardening and foliar spraying for accelerating the germination and yield.ThesisItem Open Access EFFECT OF PLANTING DATE AND CHEMICAL DESUCKERING ON MORPHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS, YIELD AND QUALITY OF RUSTICA TOBACCO VARIETIES (Nicotiana rustica L.)(DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) Tadvi Sunil; Dr. J. C. ChavdaThe present investigation on “Effect of planting date and chemical desuckering on morpho-physiological parameters, yield and quality of rustica tobacco varieties (Nicotiana rustica L.)” was carried out at Bidi Tobacco Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, during the year 2017-18. The field experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with three replications comprising twelve treatment combinations of two varieties (GC 1 and DCT 4), two suckericides treatments (hand desuckering and pendimethalin @ 0.60 % + 2 % urea and three transplanting dates (4th week of October, 2nd week of November and 4th week of November).ThesisItem Open Access INFLUENCE OF SEED PRIMING AND PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS ON GROWTH, SEED YIELD AND QUALITY PARAMETERS OF OKRA, Abelmoschus esculentus (L.)

The experimental material comprised of seven (GW 1308, GW 1309, GW 1310, GW 1311, GW 1139, GDW 1255 and HI 8498) wheat varieties and experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with four replications.ThesisItem Open Access “MORPHOGENETIC RESPONSE OF DIFFERENT EXPLANTS FROM MATURE TREE OF SANDALWOOD (Santalum album L.) UNDER IN VITRO CONDITIONS(Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2011) Chandrakant Singh; Dr. J.C. ChavdaSandalwood (Santalum album L.), belonging to the family Santalaceae and genus Santalum is a small evergreen, hemi-parasitic tree and has more than 18 source of fragrance wood species mostly distributed in south Asia, Australia and Hawaii. Tissue culture methods of clonal propagation are thought to be the acceptable alternative and micropropagation of plants for mass scale production and conservation of sandalwood plants. Considering the importance of in vitro organogenesis of forest trees, there is a need to develop a suitable in vitro organogenesis protocol for mass multiplication and keeping this in view the present study was carried to study the response of various sandalwood tree explants and different plant growth regulators in combinations for callus induction and the effect of different plant growth regulators on in vitro organogenesis of sandalwood. Leaf and nodal portions of the elite sandalwood trees were procured
