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: IMPACT OF ORGANIC NUTRIENT MODULES ON PRODUCTIVITY OF PIGEONPEA BASED INTERCROPPING SYSTEM.
    (Publisher : Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2019-06-15) Authors: SANJAY, D. J.; Advisor: Ganvir, Dr. M. M.
    Abstract: The field experiment entitled “Impact of organic nutrient modules on productivity of pigeonpea based intercropping system’’ was conducted during Kharif season of 2018-19 at research farm of Department of Agronomy, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola (Maharashtra) to find out effect of different organic integrated nutrient management on pigeonpea based intercropping systems. The experiment was laid out in Strip Plot Design (SrPD) with four main plot factors i.e. intercropping system (T1 – Sole Pigeonpea, T2 - Pigeonpea + Soybean 1:4, T3 - Pigeonpea + Foxtail millet 1:4 and T4 - Pigeonpea + Cotton 1:4) and three sub plot factors i.e. organic integrated nutrient management (N1 – 100% FYM + Vermicompost, N2 – 75% FYM + Vermicompost + 25% Neem cake and N3 – Control) replicated three times. The varieties adopted are PKV-Tara (pigeonpea), AMT-1001 (soybean), Co 1 (foxtail millet) and AKA-7 (cotton). Plant height (cm) was higher in pigeonpea + cotton (1:4) intercropping system. Number of leaves plant-1 was not influenced by the intercropping system. Leaf area, leaf area index and number of branches was maximum at 120 DAS in pigeonpea + foxtail millet (1:4) intercropping system. Number of root nodules and root volume of the pigeonpea crop, dry matter accumulation plant-1 (g) and root dry matter accumulation plant-1 (g) was more in sole pigeonpea. Total leaf biomass added (kg ha-1) and total biomass added for in-situ decomposition (kg ha-1) was higher in pigeonpea + soybean (1:4) intercropping system than other intercropping system. Number of pod plant-1, number of seed plant-1, seed yield (kg ha-1), stalk yield (kg ha-1) and total uptake of NPK (kg ha-1) was found higher in pigeonpea + soybean (1:4) intercropping system. Among organic integrated nutrient management treatment 75% FYM + Vermicompost + 25% Neem cake significantly influenced dry matter accumulation in plant (g) at 90 and 120 DAS, root dry matter (g) at 90 DAS, number of pod plant-1, number of seed plant-1, grain yield (kg ha-1), stalk yield (kg ha-1) and NPK uptake. Pigeonpea + Soybean (1:4) intercropping with organic integrated nutrient management of 75% FYM + Vermicompost + 25% Neem cake was found significantly higher seed yield (kg ha-1), pigeonpea equivalent yield (kg ha-1), system productivity (kg-1 ha-1 day-1), net monetary returns, B:C ratio and system profitability (Rs.-1 ha-1 day-1). Quality parameters viz. protein content (%), protein yield (kg ha-1), oil content (%), oil yield (kg ha-1) were also found higher values in pigeonpea + soybean (1:4) intercropping system. In brief, OINM combination of 75% FYM + Vermicompost + 25% Neem cake in pigeonpea + soybean (1:4) intercropping treatment recorded higher PEY and economic returns.
