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 NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS ON GROWTH, YIELD AND QUALITY OF SWEET CORN (Zea mays (L). var. Saccharata).
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2018-08-16) JADHAV, PRADIP SUBHASH; Wagh, Dr. A. P.
    An experiment entitled “Effect of different levels of nitrogen and phosphorus on growth, yield and quality of sweet corn (Zea mays (L).var.Saccharata)” was carried out in summer season of 2017 at the Main Garden, Department of Horticulture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola (M.S.). The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with three replications and fifteen treatment combinations with factor A. nitrogen levels viz. N¬1 -100 kg ha-1, N2-125 kg ha-1, N¬3 -150 kg ha-1, N4 -175 kg ha-1 and N5 - 200 kg ha-1.and factor B phosphorus levels viz. P1 - 40 kg ha-1, P2 - 60 kg ha-1 and P3 - 80 kg ha-1. Growth and yield parameters were significantly influenced by nitrogen levels, treatment with application of nitrogen N5 (200 kg ha-1) recorded significantly higher plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, leaf area, plant height, total chlorophyll content, minimum days to 50 percent tasseling, 50 percent silking and cob harvest. It also recorded significantly higher cob weight, cob weight plot-1, cob length, cob girth, number of cob plant-1, number of grains cob-1, grains weight cob-1, fodder weight plot-1. Quality parameters like reducing sugar, non reducing sugar, protein content, TSS influenced by different levels of nitrogen was found non significant effect on the basis of one year data. The soil and plant nutrient status was also found to be improved with the application of nitrogen N5 - 200 kg ha-1. Application of phosphorus P3 - 80 kg ha-1 recorded significantly higher growth parameter, yield parameter, soil and plant NPK .but found non significant in quality parameter on the basis of one year data. Among all the treatment combination N5P3 (200 kg + 80 kg N:P2O5 ha -1) was found superior for growth parameters (plant height, number of leaves, leaf chlorophyll content, leaf area, stem diameter, days to 50 percent tasseling , 50 percent silking and cob harvest). It was also found superior for yield parameter (cob weight, cob weight plot-1, cob length, cob girth, number of cob plant-1, number of grains cob-1, grains weight cob-1 and fodder weight plot-1). Quality parameters like reducing sugar, non reducing sugar, protein content, TSS content influenced by different levels of nitrogen, phosphorus was found non significant effect on the basis of one year data. Therefore, nitrogen level 200 kg ha-1 along with phosphorus level 80 kg ha-1 is best suited for obtaining higher yield of good and quality sweet corn. The soil and plant nutrient status was also found to be improved with the application of nitrogen and phosphorus combination N5P3 (200 kg+80 kg N: P2O5 ha-1).The benefit: cost ratio was also observed maximum i.e. 1: 3.68 for treatment combination N5P3 (200 kg 1 + 80 kg N: P2O5 ha-1).
