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 INTERCROPS ON THE YIELD, GROWTH, JUICE QUALITY AND NET ECONOMIC RETURN IN SEASONAL PLANTED SUGARCANE CO 419 IN MIDDLE GUJARAT TRACT
    (AAU, Anand, 1983) PATEL, MATHURBHAI L.; PATEL, N. R.
    An investigation was carried out during the year 1980-81 and 1981-82 at Regional sugarcane Research Station, Gujarat Agricultural University, Thasra (Dist. Kaira) on well drain sandy loam soils of Kadana command area with a view to find out the feasibility of intercropping in spring planted sugarcane so as to get higher economic return without any adverse effect on yield and quality of sugarcane. Various short duration crops of cereals, legumes and vegetables like groundnut, hybrid maize, hybrid bajri, brinjal, cluster bean, green gram, cowpea and lady's finger were tested as intercrops in sugarcane GO 419. it was observed that germination of cane buds was not affected significantly . However, the tillering ratio at 12, 15, 20 and 24 weeks after planting was significantly affected in all the intercropping treatments over cane alone. The yield attributing characters like total millable height of plant , number of intenodes per plant , girth of cane, and individual cane weight have a significant adverse effect due to the intercrops of hybrid maize and hybrid bajri. The millable cane production was not affected significantly in all the treatments as compared to cane alone. While the yield of sugarcane was significantly reduced by adopting intercropping of hybrid maize, hybrid bajri, brinjal, groundnut and lady's finger whereas cluster bean, green gram and cowpea Showed nonsignificant differences as coapared to cane alone.
