(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: SEED BORNE FUNGI OF MUNGBEAN AND ITS MANAGEMENT.
    (Publisher : Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2022-09-28) Authors: DHANDGE, SWAPNIL RAMCHANDRA.; Advisor: Kamble, Miss. Geetanjali A.
    Abstract: Green gram (Vigna radiata (L.) wiczek) is one of the most important pulse crop in India. It is an important wide spreading, herbaceous, annual, legume pulse crop under the family-leguminoseae. It is an excellent source of easily digestible protein and minerals. It is highly nutrious containing 24% of high-quality protein, 1.3% fats, 56.6% carbohydrates and 3% dietary fibers. It is rich in minerals having 140 mg calcium, 8.4% iron and 280 mg phosphorous. It is grown in arid and semi-arid tropics. Several factors are responsible for low production of green gram. Among them, seed borne diseases play an important role. Hence, assessment and management of seed borne fungi of green gram is important. Green gram seed samples of different varieties viz., Vaibhav, TARM-4, TARM-1, TAP-7, AKM-1228, and PKV AKM-4, PKVM-8802, Utkarsh, Kopergaon, Green gold were collected from Pulses Research Unit and CDF, Vani Rambhapur Dr. PDKV, Akola respectively and used for present studies. Seed samples for detection of seed borne fungi were tested by standard blotter paper method (ISTA, 1996). The seed samples of green gram showed association of eight fungi belonging to six genera viz., Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium oxysporum, F. semitectum, Rhizoctonia bataticola, Rhizopus spp. However, among all other seed borne fungi F. oxysporum, F. semitectum, R. bataticola and A. alternata were observed as pre dominant fungi in green gram. Fungicides were tested against seed borne fungi in vitro by employing poisoned food method. Combi product Carboxin + Thiram (0.3%) was found most effective fungicides over all other treatments for arresting the mycelial growth (100%) of all associated seed borne fungi followed by Tebuconazole (0.1%). Among bioagents, Trichoderma asperellum was found most effective against seed borne fungi followed by T. herzianum, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens.
