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.

    INFLUENCE OF MICRONUTRIENTS AND PLANT GROWTH REGULATOR ON MORPHO PHYSIOLOGICAL, NUTRACEUTICAL QUALITY AND YIELD OF ONION (Allium cepa L.) CV. GAWO-2
    (DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGY B.A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Faldu Tarang Ashokbhai; Dr. Ashwin Trivedi
    Onion (Allium cepa L.) is one of the most important commercial vegetable crops belongs to Alliceae family being grown all over the country. It is widely used as a cooked vegetable in soups, mix vegetable and flavouring agent in many additional dishes. The continuous demand of onion within country and for the export has made it essential to supply onions round the year, either from fresh harvest or from stocks. Hence immediate attention needs to be given to improve the productivity, uniformity in size, shape, colour and export qualities of onion.

    INFLUENCE OF SOURCE MANIPULATION, PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS AND CHEMICAL ON MORPHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS AND YIELD OF GREEN GRAM (Vigna Radiata L. Wilckzek.) CV. GAM-5
    (DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGY B.A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) Ms. Parthvee R. Damor; Dr. A. D. Patel
    Greengram (Vigna radiata L.) is one of the important pulse crops. It is a leguminous species grown principally for its protein-rich edible seeds and also has potential as a green manure and as a forage crop. Crop residues are important feed resources for ruminants (Reddy et al., 2003). Greengram, also known as mung in Hindi, is cultivated mostly in developing countries. Low income groups depend on grain legumes to substitute for the expensive meat and fish products. Greengram is adapted in multiple cropping systems in the dry and warm climates of tropics and subtropics due to its rapid growth, short duration and wide adaptability. Being pulse crop productivity is low as compared to cereal due to more utilization of energy in protein synthesis as well as sown under low fertile soil.

    PHYSIOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION FOR PRODUCTIVITY IN BLACK GRAM (Vigna mungo L.) UNDER DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS
    (AAU, Anand, 2017) ANIL KUMAR GUPTA; Dr. D. B. Patel
    The present investigation on “Physiological investigation for productivity in black gram (Vigna mungo L.) under different environments” was conducted at Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand campus - 388 110, Gujarat during the season kharif 2014, 2015 and summer 2015, 2016. The field experiments were laid out in Factorial Randomized Block (FRBD) design with three replications consisting of two dates of sowing viz., S1- 15th July and S2-30th July during kharif season and S1 -15th and Feb., S2-1st March during summer season respectively with eight varieties viz., TAU-1, GU-1, VUG-10, VUG-11, VUG-14, LBG-645, LBG-709 and Anta landrace for the evaluation of various morpho-physiological, growth, biophysical, biochemical, yield and yield attributing parameters. Black gram varieties differed significantly in which varieties Anta landrace followed by GU-1 during kharif seasons while, variety GU-1 during summer seasons recorded higher values for morpho-physiological parameters __________________________________________________________________Abstract ii (number of branches and nodes plant-1, leaf, stem, root, pod and total dry matter), growth parameters (Leaf area (LA), leaf area index (LAI), Specific Leaf Weight (SLW), Leaf Area Ratio (LAR), Leaf Area Duration (LAD), Net Assimilation Rate (NAR), Crop Growth Rate (CGR), Absolute Growth Rate (AGR), Relative Growth Rate (RGR) and Biomass Duration (BMD), biophysical parameters viz., photosynthetic rate (Pn), photosynthetic active radiation (PAR), difference in CO2 input and output and transpiration rate (E), biochemical parameters (chlorophyll content), yield and yield attributing parameters (number of pods plant-1, length of pod, number of seeds pod-1, 1000 seed weight, seed yield plant- 1, seed yield hectare-1 and harvest index) followed by variety GU-1 during kharif seasons. In case of date of sowing, the values of various morpho-physiological (number of branches and nodes plant-1, leaf, stem, root, pod and total dry matter), growth parameters (Leaf area (LA), leaf area index (LAI), Specific Leaf Weight (SLW), Leaf Area Ratio (LAR), Leaf Area Duration (LAD), Net Assimilation Rate (NAR), Crop Growth Rate (CGR), Absolute Growth Rate (AGR), Relative Growth Rate (RGR) and Biomass Duration (BMD), biophysical parameters viz., photosynthetic rate (Pn), photosynthetic active radiation (PAR), difference in CO2 input and output and transpiration rate (E), biochemical parameters (chlorophyll content), yield and yield attributing parameters (number of pods plant-1, length of pod, number of seeds pod-1, 1000 seed weight, seed yield plant- 1, seed yield hectare-1 and harvest index) of black gram were significantly higher with 15th July sowing during kharif season and 1st March during summer season __________________________________________________________________Abstract iii than 30th July during kharif season and 15th Feb. during summer season sown crop, respectively. The interaction between varieties and date of sowing were found nonsignificant for morpho-physiological, growth, biophysical and biochemical parameters as well as yield and yield attributing characters. This indicates that performance of these varieties was not influenced by dates of sowing. From the above results it can be concluded that the varieties Anta landrace and GU-1 in kharif season while GU-1 in summer season were physiologically more efficient and thereby resulted in higher yield, respectively. The study also indicated that black gram crop if sown on 15th July during kharif season and 1st March during summer season can drive sustainable higher yield production.

    INFLUENCE OF LEVELS OF LEAF REMOVAL AND PGR’s ON GROWTH, YIELD AND QUALITY OF ASHWAGANDHA (Withania somnifera L.)
    (AAU, Anand, 2015) LALIT KRISHAN MEENA; Dr. A. D. Patel
    The present investigation on “Influence of levels of leaf removal and PGR’S on growth, yield and quality of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera L.)” was conducted at Medicinal and Aromatic Crop Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during the year 2012-13 and 2013-14, respectively. The field experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications under total twenty eight treatment combinations. The treatments comprised of levels of leaf removal viz. 25% removal of leaves at 60 DAS (M1), 50% removal of leaves at 60 DAS (M2), 75% removal of leaves at 60 DAS (M3) randomly and Control (M4) as main plot treatments whereas under the sub plot treatments spraying of plant growth regulators were applied as a foliar treatment at 60 DAS, which consisted of NAA at two levels (50 and 100 mg l-1), GA3 (20 and 40 mg l-1) and CCC(50 and 100 mg l-1) with the control (Water spray).
