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.

    NUTRITIONAL EVALUATION OF TOTAL MIXED RATION COMPRISING OF PIGEON PEA (Cajanus cajan) STRAW IN CATTLE
    (ANIMAL NUTRITION RESEARCH DEPARTMENT COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) CHETAN SINGH; Dr. R. S. GUPTA
    An experiment was conducted for nutritional evaluation of arhar (pigeon pea) straw on twelve cattle. There were two treatments viz. T1 (control) having concentrate mixture (45%) + wheat straw (55%) and T2 (Treatment): concentrate mixture (30) + arhar straw (70). The growing cattle were fed as per ICAR (1998) feeding standards to meet their nutrient requirements in terms of DM, DCP and TDN.

    NUTRITIONAL EVALUATION OF TOTAL MIXED RATION COMPRISING OF GRAM (Cicer Arietinum L.) STRAW IN CATTLE
    (ANIMAL NUTRITION RESEARCH DEPARTMENT COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE & ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) CHAUHAN PRAVINSINH A.; Dr. D. C. PATEL
    An experiment of 5 weeks duration was conducted for nutritional evaluation of gram (Cicer arietinum) straw on twelve cattle. The two treatments were T1 (control): concentrate mixture (45%) + wheat straw (55%) and T2 (Treatment): concentrate mixture (45%) + gram straw (80% replacement of wheat straw). Completely randomized design was followed. The growing cattle were fed as per ICAR (1998) feeding standards to meet nutrient requirement in terms of DM, DCP and TDN.

    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."

    DETERMINANTS OF ADOPTION OF IMPROVED ANIMAL HUSBANDRY PRACTISES BY THE DAIRY FARMERS OF KHEDA AND PANCHMAHAL DISTRICTS OF MIDDLE GUJARAT
    (DEPARTMENT OF LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION AND MANAGEMENT COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) B. S. DIVEKAR; Dr. M. M. TRIVEDI
    The present study was undertaken in Kheda and Panchmahal districts of middle Gujarat to know the determinants of adoption of improved animal husbandry practises by dairy farmers. The study was conducted in randomly selected four talukas each from Kheda and Panchmahal districts. From each taluka five villages and from each village five respondents were randomly selected. Thus, total 200 respondents were included in the study. Profile of the dairy farmers and knowledge and adoption rate of improved animal husbandry practises were recorded through well-structured questionnaires by personal interview method. Moreover existing animal husbandry practises like feeding, breeding, housing, milking, health care, milk marketing and calf management followed by respondents were ascertained. Data were analyzed statistically to draw meaningful inferences.

    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.

    (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.
