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 PLANTING GEOMETRY AND FERTIGATION LEVELS ON GROWTH, YIELD AND QUALITY OF CHILLI.
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth Akola, Maharashtra, 2019-12-16) NANDESHWAR, VIKKI NARENDRA.; Bharad, Dr. S. G.
    The present study entitled “Effect of planting geometry and fertigation levels on growth, yield and quality of chilli” was carried at University Department of Horticulture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, during the year 2014-15 and 2015-16. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with nine treatment combination and each treatment was replicated thrice. The treatments comprised of three planting geometry (S) viz., S1 (90 cm x 90 cm), S2 (90 cm x 60 cm) and S3 (90 cm x 45 cm) and three fertigation levels (F) viz., F1 (RDF @ 150:50:50 NPK kg ha-1 through soil application), F2 (100% RDF through fertigation) and F3 (80% RDF through fertigation). An observation recorded in respect of plant growth, yield and yield attributing, biochemical parameters, available soil nutrient status, uptake of nutrients, fertilizer use efficiency, pests and disease incidence and economics of the treatments. Amongst the different planting geometry, the treatment S3 (90 cm × 45 cm) was found to be the best treatment in respect to maximum increased the growth parameters viz., plant height, stem diameter, plant spread and leaf area. Similarly, the same treatment was found best in respect of yield and yield contributing and quality parameters viz., fruit length, diameter of fruit, number of fruits per plant, average fresh weight of fruit per plant (g), green and dry fruits yield per plant (kg), yield (q ha-1), ascorbic acid, chlorophyll and crude protein contents. The fertigation level F3 (80% RDF through fertigation) was found to be the best treatment in respect to maximum increased the growth parameters viz., plant height, stem diameter, plant spread and leaf area. The yield and yield contributing characters viz., fruit length, diameter of fruit, number of fruits per plant, average fresh weight of fruit per plant (g), green and dry fruits yield per plant (kg) and yield (q ha-1) was achieved maximum by the application of 80% RDF through fertigation. Similarly, the quality parameters viz., ascorbic acid, chlorophyll and crude protein content were also found maximum in same treatment. Interaction effect of planting geometry and fertigation levels, the treatment combination S3F3 (90 cm × 45 cm + 80% RDF through fertigation) was found superior for obtaining maximum yield and better quality of chilli with higher net monetary returns and benefit cost ratio. The highest uptake of nutrients viz., nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and maximum fertilizer use efficiency was recorded at spacing 90 cm × 45 cm along with the application of 80% RDF through fertigation (S3F3). The interaction effect between planting geometry and fertigation levels i.e., S3 F3 (90 cm × 45 cm + 80% RDF through fertigation) was found superior for obtaining maximum growth, yield and better quality of chilli with higher net monetary returns and benefit cost ratio.

    GENETIC ANALYSIS OF F1 HYBRIDS IN BRINJAL (SOLANUM MELONGENA L.).
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2019-07-20) KHOBRAGADE, RATIRAM ISHWAR.; Nagre, Dr. P. K.
    The investigation entitled “Genetic analysis of F1 hybrids in brinjal (Solanum melongena L.)” was undertaken at Main Garden, Department of Horticulture, Dr.Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. Eleven genotypes (Aruna, Bhandara local, Wadsa local, Bhatai local, Manjarigota, Chandur local, Ruchira, Krishna Kathi, White Round, DBSR-52, White Brinjal) were crossed in line x tester mating design during kharif 2013. All parents and resultant crosses with standard check Phule Arjun (F1) were evaluated during Kharif and summer season of 2014-15 in Randamised Block Design with three replications. The observations were recorded on various growth,flowering,yield and quality aspects. The parents, Bhatai local, Aruna, Ruchira, White Brinjal, Wadsa local and Chandur local, while the crosses, Aruna x Ruchira, Bhatai local x Ruchira , Aruna x Chandur local, Wadsa local x Ruchira, Bhatai local x DBSR-52, Aruna x DBSR-52, Wadsa local x Chandur local and Wadsa local x DBSR-52 were found as best parents and hybrids respectively as evident from per se performance. The analysis of variance for treatments was highly significant for all the characters over both the seasons. The variance due to parents, females, males, female x male were significant for most of the characters. Whereas the variance due to interaction of parents x season, crosses x season and (parents Vs crosses) x season were also significant for most of the characters. The analysis for combining ability revealed the significant differences due to females, males, female x males, crosses, seasons, crosses x seasons, female x seasons, male x seasons and (females Vs males) x seasons, for most of the characters. The crosses, Wadsa local x Ruchira, Wadsa local x Chandur, Wadsa local x DBSR-52, Bhatai local x DBSR-52, Aruna x DBSR-52, Bhatai local x Ruchira, Aruna x Chandur local and Aruna x Ruchira were identified as potential crosses on the basis of average heterosis, heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis; which manifested heterotic effects for growth, earliness and quality traits. Among female parents, Bhatai local, Wadsa local, Aruna and among male parents, DBSR-52, Ruchira, Chandur local were identified as good combiner for growth, flowering(earliness), higher yield and quality characters. Six crosses viz., Bhandara local x Manjari Gota, Wadsa local x Chandur local, Wadsa local x White brinjal, Wadsa local x Ruchira, Aruna x Chandur local and Bhatai local x Ruchira exhibited significant sca effects for yield per plant and yield per hectare. The crosses viz., Wadsa local x Ruchira, Wadsa local x Chandur local, Bhatai local x Ruchira and Aruna x Chandur local were identified as promising hybrids on the basis of better per se performance, high standard heterosis in desirable direction, significant sca effects and both the parents involved in these crosses had good combining ability effects for yield per plant and most of the characters studied. Additive gene action was found to be predominant for all the characters in pooled mean, except plant spread where non-additive gene action was predominant. Analysis of genetic components of variation revealed that the importance of additive gene action operating in inheritance of yield and its important components. The information on nature and magnitude of genetic makeup of yield and its components thus obtained could be useful to the brinjal breeder in formulating an efficient breeding programme to achieve desired genetic improvement in this important vegetable crop.
