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.

    EFFECT OF FIBROLYTIC ENZYMES SUPPLEMENTATION IN TOTAL MIXED RATION ON NUTRIENT UTILIZATION AND GROWTH
    (ANIMAL NUTRITION RESEARCH DEPARTMENT COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) HARSHALA A. THUBE; Dr. R.S. GUPTA
    The present study was conducted in two phases to optimize the level of inclusion of fibrolytic enzymes in Surti kids. In Phase-I, in vitro studies were conducted to arrive at the optimum level of incorporation of fibrolytic enzymes in wheat straw based total mixed ration (TMR). On the basis of the results of in vitro fermentation of TMR incorporated fibrolytic enzymes at different levels used as substrate, the optimum level of each was selected, for the in vivo study (Phase II).

    (DEPARTMENT OF SEED SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) SANGRAM SINGH; Dr. SASIDHARAN N.
    Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the third most widely cultivated legume crop after dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and field pea (Pisum sativum L.). A study was conducted during 2014-16 at Department of Seed Science and Technology, B. A. College of Agriculture, AAU, Anand (Gujarat) entitled “Seed priming in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and its effect on morphological and seed quality parameters after artificial ageing."

    CHARACTERIZATION AND EXPRESSION STUDIES FOR IRON TRANSPORTER AND STORAGE GENES IN KODO MILLET (Paspalum scrobiculatum L.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) Prajapati Vijaykumar I.; Dr. J. G. Talati
    Kodo millet is a balanced and staple food of tribal and economically poor section of the population. The grains of kodo millet possess excellent storage properties and are known for health benefits. It is highly nutritious food crop with higher fiber content along with quality protein and mineral composition, which can serve as excellent dietary source for these elements. Poor nutritional quality of cereals is the primary cause of disorders related to nutritional imbalance among the population having cereal-based diet, especially those belonging to underdeveloped or developing counties.

    STUDIES ON HETEROSIS AND ANTHER CULTURE FOR DOUBLED HAPLOID PRODUCTION IN RICE (Oryza sativa L.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDING B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) Solanki Rajpal Upendrasinhji; Dr. K. B. Kathiria
    The present investigation was carried out in two separate experiments to fulfil the objectives. The experiment-I was carried out at Main Rice Research Station (MRRS), Anand Agricultural University, Nawagam during 2014-15 comprised of five female and five male parents with eleven hybrids and three check varieties viz., GAR 13, GR 4 and GR 101 which were obtained from Main Rice Research Station, Nawagam. The experimental materials were grown in randomized block design with three replications. The observations were recorded for five randomly selected plants per treatment per replication for 12 characters viz., days to 50 per cent flowering, plant height, panicle length, productive tillers per plant, grains per panicle, test weight, grain length, grain breadth, L:B ratio, grain yield per plant, straw yield per plant and harvest index. The significant features of the findings are notified as follows.

    DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF MANUALLY OPERATED CONO-WEEDER FOR PADDY CROP
    (COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY GODHRA, 2016) HITESHKUMAR BABUBHAI SHAKYA; Dr. R.SWARNKAR
    In middle Gujarat region, weeding operation in wetland paddy is largely done by hand or Khurpi. Another method is the use of mechanical weeders viz., manual or power weeders i.e. engine or tractor operated weeder. Power weeder is not suitable for wetland condition due to increased weight and operational difficulties in puddle field condition. Japanese paddy weeder and TNAU conoweeder are the package equipments and largely adopted by the farmers of the region.

    EFFECT OF PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS AND MICRONUTRIENTS ON YIELD AND PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF MANGO CV. MALLIKA GROWN UNFER THE MIDDLE GUJARAT AGRO CLIMATIC CONDITION
    (DEPARTMENT OF HORTICULTURE B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) Thupten Tsomu; Dr. H.C.Patel
    The experiment was carried out during the spring and summer seasons of the year 2013-14 & 2014-15 at the Horticultural Reasearch Farm, Department of Horticulture, B.A. College of Agricuture, Anand Agriculture University, Anand to study the "EFFECT OF PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS AND MICRONUTRIENTS ON YIELD AND PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF MANGO CV. MALLIKA GROWN UNFER THE MIDDLE GUJARAT AGRO CLIMATIC CONDITION". The experiment comprised of 15 treatment with different PGR's i.e. NAA 20 and 40 mg/1, GA3 25 and 50 mg/1 and micronutrients i.e. borax 0.2 and zinc sulphat 0.5% and control (water spray). Foliar spray of treatments was done at full bloom, pea and marble stages on 15 years old mango trees of cv. Mallika. Experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) and repeated thrice.

    STUDY ON NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS FRACTIONS AS INFLUENCED BY DIFFERENT ORGANIC AND INORGANIC FERTILIZERS UNDER GROUNDNUT-WHEAT CROPPING SEQUENCE ON TYPIC USTOCHREPTS
    (DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) Kulkarni Manoj Vinay; Dr. K. C. Patel
    The experiment was undertaken to study the effect of organic and inorganic treatments on yield, nutrients removal by crops and distribution of N, P and K fractions in soil under groundnut (cv. GG-20)-wheat (cv. GW-496) cropping sequence. In all, six treatments were studied comprising of three organics treatments viz. T1: 75% N (FYM) + 25% N (Vermicompost), T2: 50% N (FYM) + 50% N (Castor Cake),T3: 5 0% N (FYM) + 25% N (VC.) + Azotobactor/Rhizobium + PSB (Seed treatment (ST)) and three inorganic treatments viz. T4: NPK as per soil test value (STV), T5: RDF + 5 t FYM ha-1, T6: RDF + ZnSO4/Gypsum, which were applied to both the crops under factorial randomized block design keeping four replications.

    PERCEPTION OF SCIENTISTS OF ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY TOWARDS ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE
    (DEPARTMENT OF EXTENSION EDUCATION B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) Mohmmad Yunus; Dr.C. P. Desai
    Organizations in the 21st century are facing more challenges than ever before. These challenges are not unique to any specific organization or industry, but affect all organizations, regardless of their structure or size. Organizational climate in particular is constantly being challenged by changes impacting organizations today (Nair, 2006). To survive and exceed their competitors, organizations are constantly seeking to improve their performance. Authors such as Brown and Leigh (1996) thought that the organizational climate is becoming more important than ever before because organizations need to ensure that those individuals who add value to the bottom line will want to stay in the organization and will want to continue pouring their efforts into their work to the benefits of the organization.
