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 TRIPLE TEST CROSS IN OKRA.
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2018-07-26) YELTIWAR, SANJANA RAMESH.; Kale, Dr. V. S.
    An investigation was carried out on okra to detect epistasis and estimate components of genotypic variance in bhendi following triple test cross analysis in the Main Garden, Department of Horticulture during Kharif 2016 and 2017. As many as 48 Triple Test Cross progeny families of okra were obtained from crosses Korchi x Akola Bahar (C-I), IC 90222 X Akola Bahar ( C-II), Julie x Korchi (C-III) and Akola Bahar x IC 90201 (C-IV) respectively, through Triple Test Cross. Observations were recorded on fifteen quantitative characters. The results of the experiment provided ample evidence for the involvement of epistatic variation for all the 15 traits studied. Major contribution of additive × additive gene effects was observed in the inheritance of plant height in C-I, C-II, C-III except C-IV. Days to first flowering and days to 50% flowering in C-I and C-II. And yield per plot and yield per ha in C-I and C-II. Since additive × additive type of epistasis is fixable and transferable from generation to generation, simple selection could be practiced for improving these characters in okra. Additive gene effects appeared to be important for the expression of all the characters in all the four crosses except fruit diameter, number of fruits and internodal length in C-III for which dominance gene action appeared to play an important role. The genes displaying dominance gene effects had increasing and decreasing effects to an equal extent on the expression of most traits in all the crosses.
