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.

    EFFECT OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF PHOSPHORUS AND POTASSIUM ON GROWTH, YIELD AND QUALITY OF CLUSTER BEAN (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub).
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2019-08-07) CHOPADE, ANURADHA MANOHAR.; Nagre, Dr. P. K.
    An experiment entitled “Effect of different levels of phosphorus and potassium on growth, yield and quality of cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. Taub)” was carried during summer season of 2018, at Instructional farm, Department of Vegetable Science, Faculty of Horticulture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with four levels of Phosphorus as factor A viz., P1 (Control), P2 (65 kg P2O5 ha-1) and P3(80 kg P2O5 ha-1) , P4 ( 95 kg P2O5 ha-1) and factor B of Potassium levels viz. K1 (control), K2 ( 30 kg K2O ha-1), K3 (45 kg K2O ha-1) and K4 (60 kg K2O ha-1) with 16 treatment combinations, replicated thrice to study the effect of different levels of Phosphorus and Potassium on growth, yield and quality of cluster bean. The results of present investigation indicated that, the growth parameters like plant height, number of leaves per plant was showed significant influence with treatment P4 (95 kg P2O5 ha-1) and K4 (60 kg K2O ha-1). The yield attributing parameters like, number of days to first flowering, number of days to 50% flowering, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per cluster, number of pods per plant, pod length, weight of pods per plant, pod yield per plot and pod yield quintal ha-1, and protein content, was recorded maximum with the treatment P3 (80 kg P2O5 ha-1) and K3 (45 kg K2O ha-1). The interaction effect of treatment P3K3 i.e (80 kg P2O5 kg ha-1) along with (45 kg K2O ha-1), was found significant in the production of maximum pod yield of cluster bean. Considering the cost economics, the phosphorus and potassium levels with the application of treatment P2 i.e. (65 kg P2O5 ha-1) and K3 i.e (45 kg K2O ha-1). Were found to be more remunerative and profitable as per the B: C ratio (2.45) i.e. with treatment P2K3, also P3K3 was equally good (2.44) for cluster bean production.
