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.

    ASSESSMENT OF CROP WATER STRESS IN WHEAT AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO YIELD
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) SAILAJA, DEVI. T; Mehta, A. N.
    A field experiment with six different irrigation treatments was conducted during the rabi season of the year 1985-86 with the broad-based objectives of evaluating the foasibility of using canopy temperature as an indicator of crop water stress of wheat experiencing different stressed conditions by studying the relationship between canopy temperature and evapotranspiration and comparing the performance of the stress indices namely “Stress Degree Day (SDD) and Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI)” in relation to the yield of wheat in Anand conditions.

    STUDY ON AGITATION PARAMETERS IN ISOLATION OF MILK FAT FROM BUFFALO SOUR MILK
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) UPADHYAY, JANAK B.; Shah, U. S.
    In the present work, the process of shurning buffalo sour milk by agitation was studied. Souring was done by culturing as well by natural curdling. No difference was observed in behaviour of cultured milk and naturally curdled milk in respect of fat recovery. Fat percentage of buffalo sour milk was varied from a level of 3 per cent to 9 per cent. Agitation was produced by stirring sour milk with a small variable speed stirrer. Dimensional analysis was employed to get better understanding of the churning process and thereby to develop a relationship among the parameters involved in the process. The results of various experimental were plotted using the relationship obtained from the dimensional analysis.

    STUDY ON CONSTRAINTS IN ADOPTION OF POULTRY FARMING IN ANAND TALUKA OF KAIRA DISTRICT (GUJARAT)
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) SAIYAD, AMIRUDDIN S.; PATEL, H. L.
    Objectives of the study :- 1. To study the socio-economic and psychological characteristics of the poultry farmers. 2. To determine the level of adoption of the selected improved poultry farming practices by the poultry farmers. 3. To study the constraints in adoption of poultry farming as perceived by the poultry farmers. 4. To ascertain the suggestions of the poultry farmers to overcome the constraints in poultry farming. 5. To determine the relationship between socio-economic and psychological characteristics of the poultry farmers and the overall adoption of selected improved poultry farming practices.

    BIOLOGY AND CONTROL MEASURES OF BROWN SCALE, SAISSETIA COFFEAE WALKER ( HOMOPTERA : COCCIDAE) ON POINTED GOURD (TRICHOSANTHES DIOICA ROXB.)
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) VALAND, VITTHALBHAI M.; Patel, R. C.
    The biology and control measures of brown scale, Saissatia coffeae Wlk. (Homoptera : Coccidae) on pointed gourd (Trichosanthes dioica Roxb.) were studied. This scale is recorded for the first time as pest on pointed gourd on vines, leaves and at times on fruits in Gujarat State. It reproduces partnenogenetically and completes development through three instars. The eggs measured 0.212 ± 0.0096 mm. In length and 0.119 ± 0.006 mm. In breadth. The first, second and third instar measured on an average 0.31 ± 0.02, 1.521 ± 0.091 and 3.021 ± 0.144 mm. In length and 0.18 ± 0.1, 1.126 ± 0.101 and 2.427 ± 0.225 mm. in length and 2.093 ± 0.187 mm. In breadth. Maximum incubation period of eggs at 60% relative humidity and 24°C was 12.91 days.

    EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO STUDY THE EFFECT OF RAINFALL ON GROUNDNUT IN DRY FARMING AREA OF GUJARAT
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) PATEL, J. S.; Vaishnav, M. R.
    The groundnut yield averaged over N, P and K fertilizers treatment combinations under Groundnut-Bajara, Groundnut-Cotton and Groundnut-Groundnut rotations for the years 1967 to 1979 from the long term experiment conducted at Dry Farming Research Station, Targhadia (Rajkot) and the daily rainfall data for the same station were utilized for this study.

    PHYSICO-CHEMICAL AND STORAGE CHARACTERISTICS OF BISCUITS DEVELOPED FROM THE BLENDS OF CASEIN-WHEY PROTEIN COPRECIPITATES AND PARTIALLY DEOILED GROUNDNUT MEAL
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) PATEL, SOMABHAI MAGANLAL; SHARMA, R. S.
    This study was planned to develop a simplified process for preparation of partially deoiled groundnut meal (PDGM) with minimum possible mitty/bitter flavour inherent to groundnut and to make use of such meal in formulation of biscuits with blends of casein-whey protein coprecipitates (CWC) with a view to enhance protein-calorie value with out extraneous incorporation of hydregenated fat. This study also aimed to evaluate the impact of the above blends on the compositional, physico-chemical, organoleptic and storage characteristics of such biscuits and to suggest a simple process line for the manufacture of acceptable type of protein-calorie enriched biscuits with reasonable shelf-life.

    EVALUATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF CASEIN/FAT RATIO AND WHEY ACIDITY AT DRAINING ON THE QUALITY OF MOZZARELLA CHEESE MADE FROM BUFFALO MILK
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) SUNDAR, M. RAVI; UPADHYAY, K. G.
    The influence of casein to fat (C/F) ratio, viz. 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9 and whey acidity (WA) at draining viz. 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45 and 0.50 per cent was studied separately for manufacture of Mozzarella cheese from buffalo milk. The effects of the above treatments on the composition, yield, recovery of milk constituents in cheese and their losses in whey and moulding water, baking characteristics like meltability and fat leakage, objectives assessment of rheological parameters (i.e. hardness, cohesiveness springiness, guminess and chowiness), organoleptic quality of resultant cheeses and their suitability as a topping on pizza pie were studied.

    GORADU SOIL PROPERTIES AND BIDI-TOBACCO YIELDS AS INFLUENCED BY TWENTY FIVE YEARS OF MANURIAL COMBINATIONS
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) MODI, DASHARATHLAL BABULAL; Goswami, K. P.
    A field experiment baa been in progress on Goradu soil under tobacco crop at Anand for 25 years. An attenpt has been made to evaluate the effects on soil properties and plant growth. Soil samples were collected from the middlepart of each plot upto the depth of 60cm (three layers) after harvest of crop for two years were analysed for various properties. Plant growth data for one year and yield for two years were also recorded. Continuous (25 years) application of FYM/yr, oil cake or combined application of green manure and oil cake in surface soil layer gave increased soil water holding capacity in the two years pooled data analysis. The water holding capacity of the sub-surface layer remained unaffected.

    SUPEROVULATION, NON-SURGICAL RECOVERY AND EMBRYO TRANSFER IN THE WATER BUFFALO (Bubalus bubalis)
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) MOTWANI, KISHORE T.; Kodagali, S. B.
    Embryo transfer in dairy cattle is a tool to produce large number of high quality seed stock and to multiply the most desirable genotype. The present study was an attempt to adopt the standard superovulatory region, non-surgical recovery and embryo transfer technique of cattle to the water buffaloes. The experimental animals comprised of high yielding six Surti breed and six Mehsani breed buffaloes to serve as potential donors and five Surti breed buffaloes as recipients. The study was undertaken during the period from February to May, 1985 (summer).
