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.

    EFFECTIVITY OF FOLIAR APPLICATION OF PUTRESCINE AND INDOLE-3-BUTYRIC ACID ON MORPHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS AND YIELD IN BLACK GRAM.
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2018-06-26) JADHAV, NILESH DNYANESHWAR.
    The Physiological responses of foliar sprays of putrescine (25, 50, 75 and 100 ppm) and IBA (25, 50, 75 and 100 ppm) on the morpho-physiological, chemical, biochemical, yield and yield contributing parameters of black gram (var. TAU-1) were studied during kharif 2017-2018 at farm of Botany section, college of Agriculture, Nagpur. Experiment was laid out in RBD design with three replications and nine treatments. Sowing was done by drilling method on dated 29th June 2017 at a spacing of 30 cm x 10 cm. Thereafter all the intercultural operations were done as and when required. The recommended doses of 20 kg N ha-1 and 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 was applied in all treatments. Spraying of putrescine and IBA were done twice i.e. at 25 and 40 DAS. Observations about morpho-physiological parameters such as leaf area and dry weight of plant at 25, 40 and 55 DAS were recorded. Plant height and number of secondary branches were recorded at the time of maturity. RGR, NAR were calculated at 25-40 and 40-55 DAS. Chemical and biochemical parameters like leaf chlorophyll, N, P, K content in leaves and protein content in seeds were also estimated. Observations on yield and yield contributing parameters like 100 seed weight, number of the pods plant-1, seeds yield plant-1 (g), plot-1 (kg) and ha-1 (q) were recorded. All these above mentioned parameters were analyzed statistically. Foliar sprays of putrescine (25, 50, 75 and 100 ppm) and IBA (25, 50, 75 and 100 ppm) significantly enhanced morpho-physiological parameters viz., plant height, leaf area, dry matter of plant, number of secondary branches, RGR, NAR. chemical and biochemical parameters viz., nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, chlorophyll in leaf, protein content in seed, yield and yield contributing parameters viz., 100 seed weight, number of seeds pod-1, number of the pods plant-1, seeds yield plant-1 (g), plot-1 (kg) and ha-1 (q) over control. The highest per cent increase in yield over control was observed in treatment sprayed with 100 ppm IBA i.e. 52.25 per cent. Next to this treatment, foliar spray of 100 ppm putrescine also enhanced yield by 51.58 per cent over control. From overall results, it can be stated that foliar application of growth regulators such as putrescine and IBA with different concentrations improved the morpho-physiological, biochemical and yield and yield contributing parameters might have helped in attaining better pod yield in the present investigation. But considering the B: C ratio foliar application of 25 ppm IBA (T6) was found most effective treatment having B: C ratio of 2.97 as compared to other treatments under study.
