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.

    IMPACT OF FOLIAR APPLICATION OF HUMIC ACID THROUGH VERMICOMPOST WASH AND NAA ON SESAMUM (Sesamum indicum L.)

    The efficacy of foliar sprays of humic acid through vermicompost wash with NAA on the morpho-physiological, chemical and biochemical, yield and yield contributing parameters of sesamum cv. AKT-64 was studied during rabi2017-18 at experimental farm of Agricultural Botany section, College of Agriculture, Nagpur. Experiment was conducted in RBD with three replications and twelve treatments. Twelve treatments viz.,T1 (control),T2 (25 ppm NAA), T3 (50 ppm NAA), T4 (300 ppm HA through VCW), T5 (400 ppm HA through VCW), T6 (500 HA through ppm VCW), T7(25 ppm NAA + 300 ppm HA through VCW), T8 (25 ppm NAA + 400 ppm HA through VCW), T9 (25 ppm NAA + 500 ppm HA through VCW), T10 (50 ppm NAA + 300 ppm HA through VCW), T11 ( 50 ppm NAA + 400 ppm HA through VCW), and T12 (50 ppm NAA + 500 ppm HA through VCW) were tested. Sowing was done on 14th November 2017 by dibbling method at a spacing of 30 cm × 10 cm. Thereafter, all the intercultural operations were done as and when required. Foliar application of humic acid through vermicompost wash and NAA individually and in combination were given at stages of 25 and 40 DAS on sesamum. The various morpho-physiological and chemical and biochemical observations like leaf area plant-1, dry weight plant-1, Leaf chlorophyll, and leaf N, P, K were recorded at 25, 40, 55 and 70 DAS respectively. Observations on plant height plant-1 and number of branches plant-1 were recorded at the time of harvesting. Similarly RGR and NAR were calculated at 25-40, 40-55 and 55-70 DAS. Oil content in seeds was also estimated. Observations on yield and yield contributing parameters like number of capsules plant-1, number of seeds capsule-1,1000 seed weight, seed yield plant-1, plot-1, ha-1 and harvest index were also recorded. Similarly B:C ratio was calculated. Data obtained from all the observations were subjected to statistical analysis. Results obtained from this study confirmed that two foliar sprays of 50 ppm NAA + 400 ppm HA through VCW and 50 ppm NAA + 300 ppm HA through VCW significantly enhanced morpho-physiological parameters viz., plant height, number of branches plant-1, leaf area and dry weight plant-1, RGR, NAR, chemical and biochemical parameters viz., leaf nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, leaf chlorophyll and seed oil content and yield and yield contributing parameters viz.,number of capsules plant-1, number of seeds capsule-1,1000 seed weight, seed yield plant-1, plot-1, ha-1 over control. Considering the treatments under study two foliar sprays of 50 ppm NAA + 400 ppm HA through VCW and 50 ppm NAA + 300 pmm HA through VCW at 25 and 40 DAS were found to be most effective treatmentsin improving all above mentioned parameters of sesamum cv. AKT-64 and ultimately increased yield by 37.31 and 34.88 per cent over control. Considering the B:C ratio foliar application of 50 ppm NAA + 300 ppm HA through vermicompost wash and 50 ppm NAA + 400 ppm VCW were found most effective treatments having B:C ratio of 1 : 2.89 and 1 : 2.88 as compared to control (1 : 2.38).
