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 LONG TERM EFFECT OF ORGANIC AND INORGANIC FERTILIZER ON DISTRIBUTION OF BORON FRACTIONS IN BAJRA-MUSTARD- COWPEA CROPPING SEQUENCE UNDER Typic Ustochrepts SOIL(DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Neelam Yadav; Dr. K. C. PatelThe present investigation was undertaken to study the long-term effect of fertility levels (NP levels) with and without farmyard manure (FYM) on the changes in soil boron fractions under continuous bajra (cv. GHB-558)-mustard (cv. GM 2)- cowpea (F) (cv. EC 4216) cropping sequence in Typic Ustochrepts soil of Anand. The FYM (0 and 10 t ha-1 ) was applied once in a year to kharif bajra and four levels of NP fertilizers (0, 50, 100 and 150 % of RDF) were applied to each crop. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block with two factors keeping three replications.ThesisItem Open Access EFFECTS OF ORGANIC AND INORGANIC FERTILIZATION ON GROWTH, YIELD AND METHANE EMISSION FROM TRANSPLANTED RICE(DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE AND AGRIL. CHEMISTRY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Kadivala Varisali H.; Dr. V. P. RamaniPresent research was conducted to evaluate “Effects of organic and inorganic fertilization on growth, yield and methane emission from transplanted rice” during kharif season of the year 2020 at two different locations, (i) Regional Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand on loamy sand soil and (ii) Agricultural Research Station for Irrigated Crops, Anand Agricultural University, Thasra on sandy loam soil.ThesisItem Open Access FATE OF FLUOPYRAM IN SOILS AND CHILLI (Capsicum annuum L.)(Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2020) Rathod Pareshkumar H.; Dr. Paresh G. ShahIn compliance with the principles of Good Agricultural Practices, the scientific understanding of environmental fate of pesticide is crucial to ensure its effectiveness as pest control, and to assess the ecological and human health concerns. Nowadays, fate data of a new pesticide has become integral component in product registration processes. Fluopyram has recently been introduced as a fungicide and/or nematicides in Indian agricultural market, thus virtually no comprehensive scientific study has been reported on the fate of fluopyram in different textured soils of India. In this context, five studies were carried out in course of this thesis research, with a key objective of studying the fate of fluopyram in soils and in chilli crop.ThesisItem Open Access LONG-TERM EFFECT OF ORGANIC AND INORGANIC FERTILIZER APPLICATION ON SOIL ORGANIC CARBON POOLS AND SOIL QUALITY IN BAJRA-MUSTARD-COWPEA CROPPING SEQUENCE ON SANDY LOAM SOIL(DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2020) Bornali Borah; Dr. V. P. RamaniThe present investigation was undertaken to study the long-term effect of fertility levels (NP levels) with and without farmyard manure (FYM) on the changes in soil organic carbon pools to assess the role of organics as well as chemical fertilizers on soil organic carbon buildup; their interrelationship with soil biological and physico-chemical properties and crop productivity under bajra (cv. GHB-558)- mustard (cv. GM-2)-cowpea (F) (cv. EC-4216) cropping sequence. The FYM (0 and 10 t ha-1) was applied once in a year to kharif bajra and different levels of NP fertilizers (0, 50, 100 and 150 % of RDF) were applied to each crop. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with two factors keeping three replications.ThesisItem Open Access PERSISTENCE OF S-METOLACHLOR IN/ON MAIZE (Zea mays L.) AND IN VITRO DEGRADATION IN DIFFERENT TYPES SOILS AND WATER(DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2020) Satpute Nitin R.; Dr. P.G. ShahInvestigation was carried out to study the "Persistence of S-metolachlor in/on maize (Zea mays L.) and in vitro degradation in different types of soils and water". Field experiment was carried out at All India Coordinated Research Project on Weed Management Farm, B.A.College of Agriculture and at All India Network Project on Pesticide Residues, ICAR, Unit-9, Anand Agricultural University, Anand (Gujarat) during 2018-19. The field experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with pre-emergence spray of S-metolachlor (87.2% EC) at recommended (872 g a.i./ha) and double the recommended dose (1744 g a.i./ha). The field experiment was conducted with eight replications along with a control.ThesisItem Open Access BIO-EFFICACY AND PERSISTENCE OF DICLOSULAM AND SULFENTRAZONE IN SANDY LOAM SOIL UNDER SOYBEAN CULTIVATION(DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY B.A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Chaudhary Dilipkumar G.; Dr. P. G. ShahThe field experiment was conducted on “Bio-efficacy and persistence of diclosulam and sulfentrazone in sandy loam soil under soybean cultivation” during the kharif seasons for two years 2016-17 and 2017-18 at AICRP on Weed Management farm, Anand Agricultural University, Anand (Gujarat). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with pre-emergence sprays of diclosulam (84% WG) @ 26 and 52 g a.i. ha-1, and sulfentrazone (39.6% SC) @ 360 and 720 g a.i. ha-1. An in vitro experiment was carried to study the persistence of diclosulam and sulfentrazone in sandy loam soil. The experiment was carried out at AINP on pesticide residues ICAR, Unit-9 AAU, Anand (Gujarat) in June, 2018. The polypropylene tubes containing sandy loam soil (10 g) were fortified with the mixture of diclosulam and sulfentrazone @1mg kg-1. The polypropylene tubes containing spiked soil were kept under control conditions. Samples were processed on 0 (1 hour), 1, 3, 5, 10, 20 and 30 days after treatment and analyzed for the residues of diclosulam and sulfentrazone by an in-house developed method utilizing QuEChERS approach.ThesisItem Open Access EFFECTS OF BIO NPK CONSORTIUM (PGPR) ON MICRONUTRIENTS AVAILABILITY IN SOIL AND IT’S TRANSLOCATION IN RICE(DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY B.A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Gohil Naresh B.; Dr. V.
