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.

    ASSESSMENT FOR THE SUITABILITY OF Butea monosperma LAM. FOR PREPARATION OF PARTICLE BOARD
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2018-10-26) SIRSALWAR, AMOL RAJESHWAR.; Khachane, Shri. S. M.
    The present investigation entitled, “Assessment for the suitability of Butea monosperma Lam. for preparation of particle board” was carried out during the year 2016-2018 at Department of Forestry, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. The study was carried with the objective to study the suitable percentage of PF resin content for the preparation of particle board and to evaluate the physical properties of particle boards. Butea monosperma was collected from the premise of Dr. Panjabrao Deshmkukh Krishi Vidyapeeth Akola as a lignocellulosic wood raw material and phenol formaldehyde resin as a binder and wax emulsion as sizing agent was used for preparation of particle board. The particle boards were prepared from 8 to 12 per cent PF resin content with 0.5 and 1 per cent wax emulsion. Physical properties were examined as per the procedure laid down in IS: 2380 and IS: 3087. Thickness of the board varied from 8.7 to 9.9 mm while, moisture content varied from 7.5 to 9.6 per cent. Maximum thickness and moisture content was recorded in the board prepared with 8 per cent PF resin content whereas, minimum thickness and moisture content was observed in the boards prepared from 12 per cent of PF resin content with 1 per cent wax emulsion. Density of the particle board varied from 0.72 to 0.86 g/cm3. Maximum density was recorded in boards prepared from 12 per cent of PF resin content with 1 per cent wax emulsion whereas, minimum density was recorded in boards prepared from 8 per cent of PF resin content. Water absorption test of the boards for 2 hours and 24 hours soaking in water varied from 20.72 to 58.74 per cent and 42.34 to 82.95 per cent, respectively. Boards prepared form 10 per cent PF resin content with 0.5 per cent wax emulsion, 11 and 12 per cent PF resin content with 0.5 per cent and 1.0 per cent wax emulsion met the requirement of IS specifications. Increase in the amount of PF resin with addition of wax emulsion showed decrease in water absorption property. Highest value (0.46 %) of length swelling was recorded in the boards prepared with 8 per cent PF resin content and lowest (0.18 %) in the boards prepared from 12 per cent PF resin content with 1 per cent wax emulsion. The values obtained for length swelling of all the boards prepared from different PF resin content met the requirement of the IS specification. Maximum thickness swelling of 24.64 per cent was recorded in the boards made from 8 per cent PF resin content and minimum value of 5.74 per cent in the board made from 12 per cent PF resin content with 1 per cent wax emulsion. The values reported for thickness swelling of the board prepared from 10 per cent PF resin content with 0.5 per cent wax emulsion,11 and 12 per cent PF resin content with 0.5 per cent and 1.0 per cent wax emulsion met the requirement of IS specification. Swelling due to surface absorption after 2 hours ranges between 06.09 to 24.46 per cent. The maximum swelling due to surface absorption was observed in the board prepared from 8 per cent PF resin content and minimum swelling due to surface absorption was observed in the board prepared from 12 per cent PF resin content with 1 per cent wax emulsion. The values obtained for swelling due to surface absorption decreases as amount of PF resin increases with addition of wax emulsion. Satisfactory boards were prepared from 10 per cent PF resin content with 0.5 per cent wax emulsion, 11 and 12 per cent phenol formaldehyde resin with 0.5 per cent and 1.0 per cent wax emulsion met the requirement in respect of physical properties as specified in IS: 3087 (1985).
