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.

    The performance of twenty Indian mustard mutants (ACM1, ACM2, ACM3, ACM4, ACM5, ACM6, ACM7, ACM8, ACM9, ACM10, ACM11, ACM12, ACM13, ACM14, ACM15, ACM16, ACM17, ACM18, ACM19, ACM20) and checks Bio-902 and Pusa Bold on morpho-physiological chemical, biochemical, yield and yield contributing parameters of mustard was studied during rabi 2017-18. The field experiment was conducted in RBD with three replications at the farm of department of Agricultural Botany College of Agriculture, Nagpur. Sowing was done by dibbling method at spacing 45 cm x 10 cm on 12th November 2017.Plant height, number of branches plant-1 were recorded at harvesting stage and dry matter production and leaf area were recorded at 25, 45 and 65 DAS. RGR and NAR were calculated at 45-25 and 65-45 DAS. Chemical and biochemical parameters like chlorophyll, N, P, K content in leaves were estimated at 25, 45, and 65 DAS. Seed oil and protein content were also estimated. Observations on yield and yield contributing parameters like number of siliqua plant-1, number of seed siiqua-1, number of seed 20-1siliqua, test weight, seed yield plant-1, plot-1, ha-1were all recorded. All these above mentioned parameters were analysed statistically.The twenty mutants of mustard showed significant variation among them for all the characters studied. The correlation studies indicated positive and highly significant correlation of all characters with yield. The weightage should be given to all morpho-physiological, chemical, biochemical and yield and yield contributing parameters to increase seed yield of mustard mutants. Considering these characters the mutants ACM18, ACM12, ACM6, ACM4 and ACM8 can be considered for further study and cultivation also. These five mutants were also found significantly superior over both checks Bio-902 and Pusa Bold. Hence, these mutants were also recommended for breeding programme and testing also.
