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.

    GENDER IDENTIFICATION USING LOOP MEDIATED ISOTHERMAL AMPLIFICATION (LAMP) IN PAPAYA (Carica papaya L.) var. Madhubindu
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) Rathod Divyarajsinh V.; Dr. Subhash N.
    Experiments were conducted to screen and validate suitable male specific markers in the identification of sex in papaya (cv. Madhubindu). From the reported markers W11, T12, Napf and CPSM 90 showed detectable results in sex determination and was used for further experimentation with routinely used PCR method as well as loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). Using screened markers unknown samples were identified with 100% efficiency of the marker used in predicting the sex type.

    IN VITRO DECONTAMINATION OF ORGANOPHOSPHATE PESTICIDES FROM VEGETABLE SAMPLES
    (DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) Jitendra Kumar Bairwa; Dr. P. G. Shah
    Vegetables are indispensable component of our day to day diet because of their high nutrition value. Green chilli, brinjal, okra and cauliflower are most commonly consumed vegetables which are cultivated throughout the country. The crop losses/damage due to insect, fungus, bacteria, weed etc. have been recorded as high as 60 – 70 %. The damage caused by various insect pests are fruit and shoot borer, jassids, aphids, leaf miner etc. In order to protect the crops from such pest damage, farmers predominantly rely on chemical pesticides.

    “EFFECT OF LIMITED IRRIGATION ON QUALITY OF DURUM WHEAT (Triticum durum Desf.)”
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) Arpita Jayeshbhai Dalwadi; Dr. J. G. Talati
    Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) is the only tetraploid species of wheat which is cultivated worldwide. Durum wheat contains high protein, as well as its strength and structures and interactions of the grain storage proteins gliadin and glutenin make durum good for special uses, the most well-known being pasta, spaghetti and macaroni, extensively in bread making.

    DEVELOPMENT OF SCALE TO MEASURE ATTITUDE OF THE FARMERS TOWARDS NEEM BASED BIOPESTICIDES
    (DEPARTMENT OF EXTENSION EDUCATION B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) Kishan K.; Dr. N. B. Chauhan
    Neem is acknowledged today as a natural product, which has much to offer in solving global agricultural, environmental and public health problems. The natural properties of neem do not have any toxic reactions, so they are helpful in plant protection and ecofriendly management of sustainable agricultural development. Products derived from neem tree act as potent insect growth regulators. Neem products make insecticide, pesticide, fumigant, fertilizer, manures, compost, urea coating agent and soil conditioner. Due to swelling public concerns about the harmful effects of toxic synthetic pesticides, neem based products have virtually taken the centre stage as an imminent alternative. Neem oil, neem fruit and its different by-products make efficient biopesticides, fungicides and organic manures. Recently, agricultural scientists have realized the potential of neem and there has been a growing interest amongst them towards neem as an organic alternative to pesticides. Agricultural scientists wish to encourage such organic alternative neem based products among farmers for the control of various harmful pests. Hence, it was necessary to have a tool to understand the feeling of the farmers towards such pesticides. Considering this a study was planned to develop a systematic, valid and reliable scale to measure the attitude of farmers towards neem-based biopesticides with following objectives.

    IN SILICO IDENTIFICATION OF microRNAs AND THEIR VALIDATION IN PEARL MILLET [Pennisetum glaucum L.]
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) Amit Kumar; Dr.R. S. Fougat
    The endogenous small non-coding functional microRNAs (miRNAs) are short in size, ranging from ~21 to 24 nucleotides in length and play a pivotal role in gene expression in plants and animals by negative regulation or silencing of genes either by cleavage or blocking of translation of homologous mRNA. Although various high throughput and expensive techniques like forward genetics and direct cloning are employed to detect miRNAs in plants but comparative genomics complemented with novel bioinformatic tools paced the way for efficient and cost-effective identification of miRNAs through homologous sequence search with previously known miRNAs.
