The jurisdiction of this university is spread over the eleven districts of Vidarbha. According to the University Act 1983 (of the Government of Maharashtra), the University is entrusted with the responsibility of agricultural education, research and extension education alongwith breeder and foundation seed programme. The University has its main campus at Akola. The instructional programmes at main campus are spread over in 5 Colleges namely, College of Agriculture, College of Agricultural Engineering & Technology, College of Forestry, College of Horticulture and Post Graduate Institute. At this campus 4 degree programmes namely B.Sc.(Agri.) B.Sc. (Hort.), B.Sc. (Forestry) and B.Tech. (Ag. Engg.) , two Master’s Degree Programmes viz. M.Sc.(Agri.) and M.Tech. (Agri.Engg.) and Doctoral Degree Programmes in the faculties of Agriculture and Agril. Engineering are offered. The University has its sub-campus at Nagpur with constituent College, College of Agriculture which offers B.Sc.(Agri.) and M.Sc.(Agri.) degree programmes. The Nagpur Campus is accomplished with a garden, surrounded by its natural beauty and a well established Zoo which attract the general public and visitors to the city. A separate botanic Garden is being maintained on 22 hectares with a green house for the benefit of research workers. In addition there are 2 affiliated grant-in-aid colleges and 14 private non-grant-in-aid colleges under the umbrella of this University A Central Research Station is situated at the main Campus which caters to the need of research projects undertaken by Crop Scientists of the principle crops of the region are Cotton, Sorghum, Oilseeds and Pulses.

    SCREENING OF SWEET SORGHUM GENOTYPES AGAINST STEM BORER ( Chilo partellus).
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2018-07-19) KUMBHAR, SUSHANT SAMBHAJI.; Sonalkar, Dr. V. U.
    A field experiment entitled “Screening of sweet sorghum genotypes against stem borer, Chilo partellus” was carried out at Sorghum Research Unit, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola during kharif 2018 carried out in randomized block design replicated thrice to ascertain the 14 sorghum lines for stem borer reaction. Observations on seedling glossiness score and seedling vigour scores were recorded on 12 days after emergence (DAE). Chlorophyll index was recorded on 14 DAE and brix index was recorded at 14, 21, 28, 35 and 45 DAE. Stem borer leaf injury score and dead hearts were noted 35 and 45 DAE, respectively. Stem borer tunneling and plant height was also recorded at crop maturity. Sorghum plant samples were collected for estimation of biochemical viz., crude protein, phenol and total soluble sugar on 60, 90, 120 DAE. The data were compiled and subjected to statistical analysis. The seedling glossiness score and seedling vigour was also expressed in the scale 1 to 5The seedling leaf glossiness varies with line to line and range was 1.0 to 4.67; the lower seedling leaf glossiness score i.e. high glossy seedlings were in check IS-2205 and test line CSV 19 SS and higher score 4.67 was in susceptible check Swarna and test line SPV 2603 followed in SPV 2602 and CSH 22 SS indicating. Least seedling vigour score was showed by resistant check IS-2205 (2.00) followed in test line SPV 2605 and CSV 19 SS. The highest seedling vigour score i.e. 3.33 was expressed by susceptible check Swarna indicating least vigorous seedlings. The stem borer leaf injury rating ranges between 1.33 and 2.33. Minimum rating i.e. 1.33 was scored by resistant check IS-2205 and two sweet sorghum lines viz., SPV 2600, SPV 2604, however highest leaf injury rating 2.33 observed in four test lines and Swarna. Significantly least dead hearts were in IS 2205 which was statistically equal with dead hearts in four test lines. Highest per cent dead hearts were expressed by Swarna. Line CSV 24 SS showed nil tunneling followed with 0.45 per cent in IS 2205. The higher tunneling was in Swarna and it was statistically high than all sorghum lines. The chlorophyll index was ranged from 30.00 to 44.57 in IS 2205 and Swrana, respectively. Minimum chlorophyll index was on par in SPV 2605, SPV 2604, CSV 24 SS and SPV 2602 and maximum was in Swarna. Significant varied mean brix index were expressed by different sorghum lines and range was 2.80 to 5.49. Least brix index (2.80) showed by IS 2205 which was on par in SPV 2604, CSV 24 SS, SPV 2605, SPV 2603 and in SPH 1880 (5.49) which was not differed than brix index in CSH 22 SS, SPV 2599, AKSSV 22, SPV 2602, SPV 2601 and SPV 2600. Significantly least crude protein was observed in CSV 24 SS which was significantly least than protein in rest of lines. The sorghum lines SPV 2600 and CSV 19 SS preceding the lowest protein with 7.00 % each. High values of protein was estimated in susceptible check (10.27%) followed in CSH 22 SS (10.00%) which was statistically more in remaining lines. Total soluble sugar varied from 9.61 to 15.34 per cent among the sorghum lines and least was in resistant check IS 2205 followed in AKSSV 22 being. Highest total soluble sugar was in CSH 22 SS (15.34%) followed in SPH 1880 (15.21%). Significantly highest phenol i.e. 4.62 mg / g was noted in CSV 24 SS followed in SPV 2602 with 3.87 mg / g which was being on par in CSV 19 SS SPV 2604 IS 2205 and CSH 22 SS; however, minimum was in Swarna (2.13 mg / g) followed in AKSSV 22 and SPH 1880. Highest plant stand observed in resistant check IS 2205 which had 52.00 plants in 2 rows of 4 m each which was statistically equal with plant stand in SPV 2600, SPV 2602, AKSSV 22, SPV 2599 and SPH 1880. Maximum height was attained by the plants in line SPH 1880 and was on par in IS 2205, AKSSV 22, SPV 2603 and SPV 2601. Shortest plant observed in Swarna (127.60 cm) and it was not differed than the height in SPV 2605. Maximum yield was obtained in IS 2205 followed in SPV 2600; however, Least grain yield was in Swarna. The chlorophyll index, brix index, total soluble sugar had significant positive impact on stem borer dead hearts and stem tunneling. The, crude protein had significant positive impact on stem borer tunneling. The phenols reflected stem tunneling negatively and highly significantly. It is concluded from the results that the sweet sorghum lines SPV 2604 and SPV 2605 tolerate the feeding by stem borer larvae and limits the tunneling the plant. The biochemical like total soluble sugar, total phenol and protein content influence the stem borer damage.
