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.

    HETEROSIS AND COMBINING ABILITY STUDIES IN FORAGE SORGHUM [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2011) Vishal K. Patel; Dr. H. R. Kher
    Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] having ability to grow in poor soil, faster growth habit, high yielding, palatable, nutritious quality and uniform green fodder yield throughout the year. The experimental material comprised of three male sterile lines used as female parents, fifteen genotypes used as male parents, 45 F1s were developed in a Line x tester fashion and one standard check hybrid (MFSH 4). Fourteen characters in these sixty four entries were studied in a randomize block design with three replications at Main Forage Research Station, A.A.U., Anand during summer season of the year 2010, with the objectives to obtain information on heterosis and combining ability study in forage sorghum. The analysis of variance

    RESPONSE OF SUMMER RICE (Oryza sativa L.) TO PLANT GEOMETRY AND AGE OF SEEDLINGS UNDER SRI METHOD
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2011) SURESH KUMAR BAJIA; Dr. J. B. PATEL
    A field experiment was carried out at the Regional Research Station, Anand Agricultural University. Anand during the summer season of the year 2009-10 to study the “Response of summer rice (Oryza sativa L.) to plant geometry and age of seedlings under SRI method” The soil of the experimental plot was loamy sand in texture having good drainage with 7.5 pH. The soil was low in organic carbon and available nitrogen, medium in available phosphorus and high in potassium. Nine treatment combinations comprised of three plant geometry viz., (P1 : 10 x 10 cm, P2 : 20 x 20 cm, and P3 : 30 x 30 cm and three age of seedlings viz., S1 (10-12 days), S2 (18-20 days) and S3 (28-30 days) were tried in split plot design with four replications. The rice crop was fertilized with recommended dose of fertilizer (100:25:00 kg N, P2O5 and 25 kg ZnSO4 ha-1). However, additional 25 per cent dose of nitrogen was given from farm yard manure considering SRI method in rice.

    “STUDIES ON PHYSICO-CHEMICAL CHANGES DURING FRUIT GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IN DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF FIG (Ficus carica L.).”
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2011) PAWAR TRUPTI KADU; Dr. R. G. Jadav
    Fig (Ficus carica L.) is valuable subtropical region fruit crop. Looking to economical and nutritive value as a dry fruit and the quality of thriving in adverse climatic condition and soil it become popular but, it is necessary to study the physico-chemical changes of fruit during their growth period with important parameters for determining the harvesting stages to obtaine qualitative fruits. Keeping in view, the present investigation was carried out with the objective of studying the physico-chemical changes during the fruit growth and development.
