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.

UNDER SALT AFFECTED SOIL(Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry B. A. College of Agriculture Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2020) Mr. PREM KUMAR B; Dr. B. B. BASAKThe experiment was conducted in two different soil types viz., Local soil from DMAPR, Boriavi and saline soil collected from Bharuch, Gujarat. The experiment was laid out on completely randomized design (factorial). Two different kinds of enriched organic fertilizers i.e. enriched compost (EnC) and biochar mineral complex (BMC) were prepared from distillation waste biomass of palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii) fortified with natural minerals such as rock phosphate and waste mica. The BMC was prepared from biochar of palmarosa distillation biomass fortified with rock phosphate and waste mica. The enriched organic fertilizers were characterized and then applied in different combinations along with farmyard manure (FYM) and chemical fertilizer to evaluate as nutrient source under pot culture experiment. The treatment comprised of seven levels of inputs viz., F1: Control, F2: Farmyard manure (FYM), F3: 100% Enriched compost, F4: 75% Enriched compost, F5: 100% Biochar mineral complex, F6: 75% Biochar mineral complex and F7: Recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) and two types of soils (S1: Saline soil and S2: Local soil).ThesisItem Open Access EFFECT OF POTASSIUM AND POTASSIUM MOBILIZING BACTERIA (KMB) WITH AND WITHOUT FYM ON YIELD AND NUTRIENT UPTAKE IN WHEAT (Triticum aestivum L.)(DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY B.

V. MehtaThe practice of intensive cropping with hybrid varieties for boosting food production in India has caused nutrient depletion in soil, consequently macro and micronutrient deficiencies are reported in soils of India. Further, micronutrient deficient soils result in production of food/feed/fodder low in micronutrient content/density and that in the long-run have been inflicting their deficiency in humans and animals. Hence, the rampant micronutrient deficiency in soils has resulted in increased incidence of micronutrients deficiencies in animals and humans in recent years and taking a toll on the food and economic security of the country in terms of the yield and economic losses due to unmatched yield goals (Shukla et al., 2014). Attempts are made to enhance micronutrient content in cereal grains and there is a need to explore the possibility of such improvements in other locally available food crops. One such crop that could be considered suitable for this purpose is of the genus Amaranthus. The amaranth grains contain relatively higher iron content than in cereal grains.ThesisItem Unknown PHYTOSTABILIZATION OF CHROMIUM BY ORGANIC AMENDMENTS IN CHROMIUM SPIKED LOAMY SAND SOIL USING FODDER MAIZE (Zea maize L.)(Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry B.

A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Premlata Meena; Dr. P.G. ShahBifenthrin (2-methyl-3-phenylbenzyl (1RS) -cis - 3 - (2- chloro - 3, 3, 3 trifluoroprop-1-enyl) -2,2-dimthylcyclo-propanecarboxylate) is a third generation member of the pyrethroid family. It is an insecticide and acaricide which affects the nervous system and causes paralysis in insects. Bifenthrin is used both in agriculture to control sucking and biting insects like aphids, white fly, colorado beetle in various crops and in public health applications (mainly as emulsifiable concentrates or wettable powder), against mosquitoes, houseflies, cockroaches etc.ThesisItem Unknown EFFECT OF ZINC NANO-FERTILIZER ON GROWTH, YIELD AND Zn CONTENT IN MAIZE (Zea mays L.)(DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY B.A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Patel Rajalben P.; Dr. V.

RamaniThe study entitled, “Effect of zinc nano fertilizer on growth, yield and Zn content in maize Zea mays L.)” was u ndertaken by conducting a laboratory experiment of synthesis and characterization of zinc nano fertilizer and a field experiment at Main Forage Research S tation, Anand Agricultural University, Anand (Gujarat) during r abi season of the year 2018 19. In lab oratory experiment, zinc nano fertilizer (ZnO NPs) was synthesized, using direct precipitation method and cha racterized by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Th e i nstrumental analysis results indicated that synthesized ZnO NPs were of 35 40 nm particle size , monodispersed, pure, stable and showed characteristic absorption of Zn O bond at wavenumber of 509.46 cm 1 and 604.70 cm 1
