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.

    Title : EFFECT OF FERTIGATION LEVELS AND WEED MANAGEMENT ON SOIL FERTILITY AND PRODUCTIVITY OF MAIZE IN INCEPTISOLS.
    (Publisher : Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2022-09-15) Authors : SHID, DHANASHRI ANANDA.; Advisor : Kadu, Dr. P. R.
    Abstract : A field study entitled, “Effect of fertigation levels and weed management on soil fertility and productivity of maize in inceptisols” was conducted during kharif 2020-21 at Research farm of AICRP on Weed Management, Department of Agronomy, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra. The soil of the experimental site was Inceptisol which was moderately alkaline in reaction, low in available nitrogen, medium in available phosphorus and medium in available potassium, deficient in available sulphur, zinc and ferrous, whreas fairly high in available Cu and Mn. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. There were twenty treatments having four different of fertigation levels and five different of weed management practices. The main plot treatments comprised of different levels of fertilizer in five splits at 75 per cent, 100 per cent and 125 per cent of recommended dose of N and K of fertilizers given through fertigation, however P was applied as basal dose and these treatment were compared with 100 per cent soil application of fertilizers. Whereas, sub plot treatments comprised of five weed management practices viz. ,Atrazine+ Tembotrione, Atrazine + Topramezon, Atrazine + Halosulfuron, Farmers practices and weedy ckeck. The yield found to be lowest with 75 per cent RDNK and highest with 125 per cent RDNK (5 splits) . Among the various weed management practices under study farmers practice (2 hoeing 15-20 Days interval after sowing followed by 2 HW) recorded significantly higher values of major parameters. The nutrient uptake by weeds was lowest in weedy check condition. However, total nutrient uptake by crop was observed maximum in farmers practices followed by Atrazine 0.75 kg/ha PE fb Topramezone 0.0252 kg/ha POE 20 DAS.
