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.

    ORGANIC NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT IN CLUSTER BEAN (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub).
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2019-08-14) BANTE, PAYAL BHOJRAJ.; Nagre, Dr. P. K.
    An experiment entitled “Organic nutrient management in cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. Taub)” was carried out during summer season of 2018, at Instructional farm, Department of vegetable science, Faculty of Horticulture, Dr. PDKV, Akola. The experiment was laid out in a Randomize block design (RBD) with three replications and twelve treatments. Data on growth (plant height, number of leaves, number of branches and leaf area), pod yield (pod yield plant-1) and, its attributes (pod clusters-1, clusters plant-1, pods plant-1, length and width of pod) and pod quality (protein content %) were recorded. Morphological characters like plant height, number of leaves plant-1 at all stages of growth were found significantly increased with the application of 100% RDF through (25:50:50kg NPK ha-1) + Rhizobium (25g kg-1 of seed inoculation) +PSB (5kg ha-1 of soil application and 10g kg-1 of seed inoculation) treatment T11 over other treatments. Whereas, treatment T12 i.e. application of Rhizobium (25g kg-1 of seed inoculation) +PSB (5kg ha-1 of soil application and 10gm kg-1 of seed inoculation) has recorded poor growth at all the crop stages over other treatments. Plants that received 100% RDF through (25:50:50kg NPK ha-1) + Rhizobium (25g kg-1 of seed inoculation) +PSB (5kg ha-1 of soil application and 10gm kg-1 of seed inoculation) also showed early flowering, as well as significantly highest pod yield (54.86 q ha-1), while T12 i.e. application of biofertilizers only, recorded lower pod yield (39.38 q ha-1) while, maximum number of pods (84.77 pods plant-1), weight of pods (74.01 g) and highest protein content (22.50 %).observed in treatment T11. Significantly maximum nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium status in soil after harvest and uptake by plant was found in application of 100% RDF through (25:50:50kg NPK ha-1) + Rhizobium (25g kg-1 of seed inoculation) +PSB (5kg ha-1 of soil application and 10gm kg-1 of seed inoculation) treatment T11. Highest net returns (RS 66557) and highest B:C ratio (2.54) was recorded with the application of 100% RDF through (25:50:50kg NPK ha-1) + Rhizobium (25g kg-1 of seed inoculation) +PSB (5kg ha-1 of soil application and 10gm kg-1 of seed inoculation) due to highest yield and found to be most remunerative as per the B:C ratio. These results are, however based on single season data and therefore needs repetition over more seasons is required for confirmation.
