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.

    STUDIES ON MACROPROPAGATION TECHNIQUE IN BANANA.
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola., 2017-08-28) CHINCHKHEDE, SHANTANU RAMESHRAO; PAITHANKAR, Dr. D. H.
    The field experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2016-17, the experiment entitled, “Studies on macropropagation technique in banana” was conducted at All India Coordinated Research Project on Tropical Fruits (Citrus), Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola with the objectives to study the response of different propagation media for the macropropagation and to find out the suitable media for the macropropagation of banana. The experiment was laid out in Complete Randomized Design with 6 treatments viz. Sawdust + VAM (30g), Sawdust + Trichoderma viride (30g), Sawdust + VAM (30g) + Trichoderma viride ( 30g), Sawdust + IBA (Dipping in 0.25% solution) + Azospirillum (30g), Sawdust + BAP (4ml) + Bacillus subtilis (30g) and Sawdust + VAM (30g) + BAP (4ml) + Bacillus subtilis (30g) which were replicated four times. The results of the investigation indicated that, among the different propagation media of Sawdust + VAM (30g) + BAP (4ml) + Bacillus subtilis (30g) gave better performance in macropropagation of banana on growth parameters. In respect of different propagation media, Sawdust + VAM (30g) + BAP (4ml) + Bacillus subtilis (30g) recorded short time for bud initiation and total number of primary, secondary and tertiary buds. Observations recorded after transplanting of seedlings in polythene bags, the maximum plant height, stem girth, pseudostem girth, pseudostem height, leaves per plant, leaf width, leaf area, length of the longest root, girth of root, secondary roots, whole plant dry matter yield, rate of proliferation, survival %, plant vigour recorded maximum in Sawdust + VAM (30g) + BAP (4ml) + Bacillus subtilis (30g).
