Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola

Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola was established on 20th October, 1969 with its head-quarter at Akola. This Agricultural University was named after the illustrious son of Vidarbha Dr. Panjabrao (alias Bhausaheb) Deshmukh, who was the Minister for Agriculture,Govt. of India. 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.

    Title: ALLEVIATION OF MOISTURE STRESS IN SOYBEAN (Glycine max L.) THROUGH EXOGENOUS APPLICATION OF GIBBERELLIC ACID AND POTASSIUM NITRATE.
    (Publisher : Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2019-09-20) Authors: KALE, SWAPNIL DILIP.; Advisor: Jaybhaye, Dr. C. P.
    Abstract: A field experiment entitled “Alleviation of moisture stress in soybean (Glycine max L.) through exogenous application of gibberellic acid and potassium nitrate” was conducted at Integrated farming research unit , Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola during Kharif season of 2018-19. The soil of experimental plot was clay in texture. Soil was slightly alkaline in reaction. As regards to fertility status, the soil was low in available Nitrogen (206.98 kg ha-1), available Phosphorus (16.32 kg ha-1), high in available Potassium (350.2 kg ha-1) and medium in organic carbon (0.57%). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with ten treatments and replicated thrice. The treatment comprised of control (water spray), 15 ppm GA3 at flower initiation stage (T2), 30 ppm GA3 at flower initiation stage (T3), 1% KNO3 at flower initiation stage (T4), 15 ppm GA3 at pod formation stage (T5), 30 ppm GA3 at pod formation stage (T6), 1% KNO3 at pod formation stage (T7) ,15 ppm GA3 at flower initiation and pod formation stage (T8), 30 ppm GA3 at flower initiation and pod formation stage (T9) and 1% KNO3 at flower initiation and pod formation stage (T10). Growth characters viz.,number of branches, number of functional trifoliate leaves, leaf area,chlorophyll content, dry matter were found significantly maximum with treatment 30 ppm GA3 at flower initiation and pod formation stage. Yield attributes and yield viz., number of pods per plant, seed yield plant-1, seed index (g), protein yield (kg ha-1) and seed yield (kg ha-1) were recorded significantly superior in treatment 30 ppm GA3 at flower initiation and pod formation stage. Whereas, straw yield was higher in treatment of 30 ppm GA3 at flower initiation and pod formation stage. Maximum harvest index was observed in 15 ppm GA3 at flower initiation and pod formation stage. Total uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium was significantly maximum in 30 ppm GA3 at flower initiation and pod formation stage. Gross monetary returns were found significantly maximum in 30 ppm GA3 at flower initiation and pod formation stage. Net monetary returns were found significantly maximum in 15 ppm GA3 at flower initiation and pod formation stage. Maximum B:C ratio was observed in 15 ppm GA3 at flower initiation and pod formation stage.
