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.

    MANAGEMENT OF FOLIAR AND ROOT ROT DISEASES OF SAFED MUSLI.
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2019-08-05) PAWAR, SANDESH VYANKATESH.; Ingle, Dr. R. W.
    The safed musli is important medicinal plant. The species Chlorophytum borivillianum contains carbohydrate (42%), protein (8.9%), root fiber (3-4%) and saponin (2-17%). Saponins are the potent medicinal compounds in the roots of safed musli. The experiment entitled “Management of Foliar and Root rot Diseases of Safed musli” was carried out during the year 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 at Nagarjun Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Garden, Dr. PDKV, Akola. Intercropping system suppress the attack of pest and diseases as compare to monocropping. Equal or more yield of safed musli under intercropping with pigeon pea indicate that this crop do not compete with safed musli for underground resources such as nutrients and moisture and a certain degree of shade (30–40%) is helpful for the growth and root production of safed musli. The mechanisms by which intercrops affect disease dynamics include alteration of wind, rain, and vector dispersal; modification of microclimate, especially temperature and moisture; changes in host morphology and physiology and direct pathogen inhibition The highest tuber germination 97.53 and 97.63 per cent was observed in the treatment T3 (Safed musli + pigeon pea + T. viride) at 28 days after sowing during 2016 and 2017 year respectively. The disease incidence and disease intensity increased with the rainfall and high humidity during August –October. For the management of the Foliar diseases caused by Phoma spp., Rhizoctonia bataticola, Alternaria alternata and Colletotrichum dematium and root rot diseases caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola and Fusarium solani different intercropping system and bioagents on safed musli crop were evaluated. The lowest incidence and intensity of foliar diseases caused by Phoma spp., Rhizoctonia bataticola, Alternaria alternata and Colletotrichum dematium was observed in treatment T3 (safed musli + pigeon pea + T. viride) during both year. The highest incidence and intensity of foliar diseases was recorded in untreated control plot.The lowest incidence of root rot of bunches and roots and the highest fresh weight, dry weight per plant and row and highest saponin content per plant and per plot were observed in treatment T3 (safed musli + pigeon pea + T. viride).

    MOLECULAR VARIABILITY OF FUSARIUM UDUM BUTLER.
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2019-08-05) VYAVHARE, GANESH FAKIRA.; Ingle, Dr. R. W.
    The present investigation entitled, “Molecular Variability of Fusarium udum Butler” was carried out at Department of Plant Pathology, Dr. PDKV, Akola. Rapid roving survey was carried out during Kharif 2014-15 and 2015-16 season in major pigeonpea growing areas of India and revealed 8.94 to 48.33 per cent variation for wilt incidence. Wilt incidence was observed throughout the all growth stages of pigeonpea plants but more severe at vegetative, flowering and poding stage.Twenty one isolates of F. udum selected for morphological variability studies belong to different agro-climatic zones. All F. udum isolates showed variation in morphology like, colony growth pattern, colony colour, radial growth rates and pigmentation. Screening of F. udum isolates by pot culture method on susceptible variety (ICP-2376) observed high degree of variation for wilt incidence (40–95%) and average expression of wilting was observed from 37 to 45 DAS. Moderately resistant variety (PKV Tara) showed variation for wilt incidence (0–65%) and average expression of wilting was observed from 44 to 58 DAS. However, resistant variety (Asha) showed variation for wilt incidence (0-55%) and average expression of wilting was observed from 55 to 65 DAS. Screening of F. udum isolates by water culture method on susceptible variety (ICP-2376) found high degree of variation for wilt incidence (33.33–100%) and average expression of wilting was observed from 5 to 10 DAI. Moderately resistant variety (PKV Tara) showed variation for wilt incidence (0–100%) and Average expression of wilting was observed from 0 to 15 DAI. However, resistant variety (Asha) exhibited variation for wilt incidence (0-50%) and average expression of wilting was observed from 0 to 22 DAI.Screening of F. udum isolates by culture filtrate method on susceptible variety ICP-2376 were recorded degree of pathogenic variability first appearance of disease symptoms after inoculation, and it was found to vary from 1 to 4 days and moderately resistance variety PKV Tara were showed variability first appearance of disease symptoms after inoculation, and it was found to vary from 1 to 6 days. The genetic diversity of 21 isolates of F. udum was studied using three molecular markers (SSR, ISSR and RAPD). Among 9 SSR primers screened, 8 primers showed good amplification and generated 39 amplicons. The per cent polymorphism generated by SSR primers were 100 per cent among all 21 isolates of F. udum. The genetic similarity coefficient value ranged from 0.44 to 0.85 across twenty one isolates. Dendrogram generated using SSR amplicons grouped all the 21 isolates into six major clusters at 72 per cent similarity coefficient.The molecular variability by ISSR primers showed total 49 scorable and reproducible amplicons with an average 4.9 amplicon per primer. The per cent polymorphism generated by ISSR primers were 93.88 per cent among all 21 isolates of F. udum. The genetic similarity coefficient value ranged from 0.41 to 0.92 across twenty one isolates of F. udum indicating high degree of variation in respect to genetic similarity. The dendrogram generated by SHAN clustering programme using UPGMA grouped all the isolates into seven major clusters at 72 per cent similarity coefficient. Variability by RAPD primers were produced total 176 scorable and reproducible amplicons with an average 8.80 amplicon per primer. The per cent polymorphism generated by RAPD primers were 83.52 per cent among all 21 isolates of F. udum. The genetic similarity coefficient value ranged from 0.57 to 0.90 across twenty one isolates of F. udum indicating high degree of variation in respect to genetic similarity. The dendrogram constructed by UPGMA from the pooled data of RAPD grouped all the isolates into eight major clusters at 76 per cent similarity coefficient.
