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.

    ASSESSMENT OF ASSOCIATION AMONG THE SEED QUALITY PARAMETERS AND YIELD IN KHARIF SORGHUM (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench).
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2021-09-21) PATIL, RUPESH CHUDAMAN.; Kalpande, Dr. V. V.
    A present investigation entitled “Assessment of association among the seed quality parameters and yield in kharif sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)” was conducted to estimate the genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance and correlation between seed quality parameters and yield. The experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2020 using Randomized Block Design with three replications. Observations were recorded for each genotype on seventeen different characters namely days to 50% flowering, plant height (cm), number of leaves, panicle length (cm), seed hardness (kg/cm2), threshed grain mold rating (%), specific gravity of seed (g/ml), germination percentage of seed, electrical conductivity (dsm-1), 1000 seed weight (g), shoot length (cm), root length (cm), root shoot ratio, vigour index length, vigour index mass, fodder yield per plant (g) and grain yield per plant (g). The ANOVA revealed highly significant difference among the all genotypes for all the characters studied indicating the presence of substantial amount of genetic variability. The GCV, PCV, heritability and EGA were estimated for all the characters. The characters electrical conductivity and thresh grain mold rating showed high GCV and PCV values. Highest heritability estimate in broad sense was observed for the character electrical conductivity. The highest value of expected genetic advance over mean was recorded for the character electrical conductivity. For the development of high yielding hybrids in sorghum, panicle length should be considered during selection. Due weightage should be given to plant height and number of leaves in developing high fodder yielding hybrids in sorghum. Similarly seed hardness should be taken in to consideration for improvement in the germination percentage of seed. For grain yield per plant, the fourteen hybrids viz., AKMS-90-A x STR- 293 x 426-2, AKMS-733-A x IVT-4121, AKMS-30-A X ICSR-91016, AKMS-30-A x Indore-26, AKMS-751-A x IVT-4121, AKMS-751 x IVT-17-4013, AKMS-751-A X SPV 1616 x 89028-3, AKMS-733-A x IVT-17-4013, AKMS-90-A X IVT-4121, AKMS-733-A X ICSR-1048-Sel.-2, AKMS-751-A x IVT-3004-1, AKMS-30-A X STR-293 x 426-2, AKMS-733-A x ICSR-8086-7-49 and AKMS-90-A x ICSR-1048-Sel.2 were significantly superior over the national check hybrid CSH-35 along with substantial percentage increase over the check. These fourteen hybrids hold promise in developing high grain yielding hybrids. For development of dual purpose hybrids, five hybrids i.e. AKMS-751-A x IVT-4121, AKMS-30-A x Indore-26, AKMS-30-A x ICSR-9106, AKMS-751-A x IVT-17-4013 and AKMS-90-A x STR-293 x 426-2 appeared best because of their good grain yield along with good fodder yield as compared to the national check hybrid CSH-35.

    EFFECTS OF SEED PRIMING ON SEED YIELD AND QUALITY IN SOYBEAN (Glycine max L.).
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2021-10-07) DAKARE, SUMIT RAVINDRA.
    In the kharif season of 2020, an experiment entitled “Effects of seed priming on seed yield and quality in Soybean (Glycine max L.)” was carried out at experimental field of Regional Research Centre Amravati, (Dr. PDKV, Akola) (M.S.). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications involving different seed priming treatments with different chemicals viz. (T1) (untreated seeds) as control, (T2) hydro priming for 2 hrs, (T3) priming with 100 ppm GA3 2 hrs, (T4) priming with CaCl2 (1%) for 2 hrs, (T5) priming with 1% KNO3 for 2 hr, (T6) seed treatment with 100ppm IAA for 2 hr, (T7) seed treatment with seed treatment with Carbendazim @ (0.2%) and (T8) seed treatment with Rhizobium culture (2.5%), The soybean variety was AMS-1001.The field observations were recorded on seed quality and yield contributing characters. The laboratory analysis was carried out to assess seed quality in seed testing laboratory of Seed Technology Research Unit Dr. P.D.K.V., Akola. The results exhibited that seeds primed with CaCl2 @ 1% (T4) followed by GA3 @ 100 ppm (T3) and IAA @ 100 ppm (T6) recorded significantly higher germination percentage, seedling length, seedling dry weight, Vigour index I and II respectively over the untreated control T1. Other priming treatments also found significant in seed quality characters as compared to untreated control treatment. Study of field performance revealed that seed priming with CaCl2-1% recorded minimum days to field emergence, higher initial plant stand and minimum days for 50% flowering. Plant height was higher in seed priming with GA3 -100 ppm followed by priming with CaCI2-1%. In respect of yield and yield contributing characters seed priming treatment with CaCI2-1% recorded more pods per plant, seed yield per plant and seed yield per hectare. GA3 -100 ppm and IAA @ 100 ppm were at par among themselves in days to field emergence, higher initial plant stand, minimum days for 50% flowering, pods per plant, seed yield per plant and seed yield per hectare. Observation on seed quality after harvest revealed that moisture content was not significant in all treatments. Seed priming with CaCI2-1% and GA3 @ 100 ppm recorded higher germination than other treatments and control. Seed priming with CaCI2-1% followed by GA3 @ 100 ppm recorded higher seedling length, seedling dry weight, vigour index I and vigour index II. Seed priming with CaCI2-1% is helpful in enhancing seed quality parameters like germination and improve initial plant stand, seed yield per plant as well as per hectare.
