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.

    EVALUATION OF SELECTED TREATMENTS FOR ACCELEARTING RIPENING OF BUFFALO MILK CHEDDAR CHEESE
    (AAU, Anand, 1985) THAKAR, PRAMODRAY NAGARDAS; Vyas, S. H.
    A study was carried out to determine the effects of (I) lactose-hydrolysed milk, (ii) homogenization of milk, (iii) slurry addition to cheese curd and (iv) use of elevated ripening temperature in the manufacture and ripening of buffalo milk Cheddar cheese. In the first phase of the investigation, pasteurized buffalo milk was treated separately with two preparations of beta-D-galectosidaes enzyme, viz., Maxilest and Lastozym, to hydrolyze 60 to 70 per cent lactose in the milk before starter addition. Cheddar cheese prepared from the hydrolyzed milk were compared with that of unhydrolyzed milk cheese.

    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.

    STUDIES ON SOME ASPECTS OF PHYTO ETEOROLOGY OF WHEAT (Triticum aestivum L.) AT ANAND
    (AAU, Anand, 1985) SAVANI, M. B.; MISTRY, P. D.
    The changeability of meterological factors in time and space is diverse. The most important weather variables which have to be considered as limiting plant growth and development are temperature, moisture and light (or solar radiation). The distribution of these meteorological parameters during the growing season of the crop shows great variation in the different locations of the same region and consequently, a great variability in the crop production.

    STUDIES ON THE ASSESSMENT OF THE PERFORMANCE OF SOME CROP-WEATHER MODELS UNDER ANAND CONDITIONS
    (AAU, Anand, 1985) SHEKH, A. M.; MISTRY, P. D.
    Crop yield forecasting is quite important to monitor the economy of any country which is predominantly agricultural. Crop-weather Hodles are formulations which mathematically relate the crop yield with the agrometeorological parameters like evapotranspiration or crop transpiration (Tc). Very little information is available on the performance of available crop-weather models under the Indian conditions. With this background, a study was planned and conducted to test and validate the performance of different crop-weather models, during the rabi season of the years 1981-82, 1982-83 and 1983-84 with Sonalika (HDM-1553) variety of wheat. The evapotranspiration (ET) losses were measured by gravimetric soil moisture measurements which were termed actual evapotranspiration (AET) and were also estimated by Priestley-Taylor (1972) approach for obtaining potential evapotranspiration (PET).

    RESPONSE OF DURUM WHEAT RAJ. 1555 (Triticum durum L.) TO MOISTURE REGIMES AND ZINC UNDER LOW, MEDIUM AND HIGH NITROGEN PHOSPHORUS LEVELS
    (AAU, Anand, 1984) Patel, Muljibhai D.; Mane, V. D.
    Wheat is one of the important cereal crops grown in Gujarat under irrigated as well as non-irrigated conditions. Although durum (dry) wheat is known for its quality, very limited information is available in Indian literature on its abilities to respond to better management practices. Very recently irrigated durum wheat variety Raj. 1555 has been released for Western Zone in 1960. The present investigation was undertaken on durum wheat variety Raj. 1555, with a view to study the effect of moisture regimes, fertility and zinc on its yield and yield attributes.

    A BIOMETRICAL STUDY OF GENETIC DIVERGENCE IN MACRONI WHEAT UNDER IRRIGATED CONDITIONS
    (AAU, Anand, 1984) DIXIT, S. K.; Patel, Ramjibhai M.
    The present investigation was carried out with 144 genotypes of macroni wheat under three sowing periods during Rabi 1982-83 at Gujarat Agricultural University, Junagard Campus, Junagadh. The analysis of variance revealed highly highly significant genotypic variances for all the characters in each of the three sowing periods. The highest genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) was observed for the number of tillers per plant followed by grain yield per plant, harvest index, plant height, grain yield per spike and number of days to flowering which indicated the presence of vast genetic variability for these characters.

    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.

    RESPONSE OF HYBRID CASTOR GAUCH-1 (Ricinus communis, L.) TO MOISTURE REGIMES AND LEVELS OF NITROGEN UNDER NORTH GUJARAT CONDITIONS
    (AAU, Anand, 1985) SADARIA, S. G.; Mane, V. D.
    Castor is one of the important oilseed crops cultivated in Gujarat under irrigated as well as rainfed conditions. Due to diversified use of castor oil, It has attracted the farmers to grow the crop on & large scale. The hybrid castor variety GAUCH-1 developed at Oilseed Research Station, Junagadb is a very promising variety with nonshettering characteristics and hence it is widely adopted in Gujarat. Very limited Information is available in India and abroad on its abilities to respond to better management practice particularly to irrigation. The present investigation wet undertaken with a view to study the effect of moisture regimes and nitrogen levels on its yields and yield attributes.
