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.

    COMPARISON OF BRINJAL PRODUCTION UNDER DRIP FERTIGATION WITH DIFFERENT FERTILIZER LEVELS AND TRADITIONAL METHOD OF FERTILIZER APPLICATION.
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2018-09-19) ADAWADKAR, MAYUR PRAKASH.; Deshmukh, Dr. M. M.
    A field experiment was conducted to study the comparison of brinjal production under drip fertigation and traditional method of fertilizer application, at Dr. PDKV, Akola during November 2017 to May 2018. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with five treatments which includes four drip fertigation levels (75, 100, 125, and 150 % of RDF) and control treatment of traditional fertilization at 100 % RDF and these all treatments are replicated four times. The study indicated higher plant growth, more number of branches, higher number of fruits per plant and enhancement in the yield under all drip fertigation levels. Yield of brinjal was maximum in treatment of drip fertigation at 150 % RDF (T4) (557.10 q/ha) and found at par with treatment of drip fertigation at 125 % RDF (T3) (554.88 q/ha). It was seen that yield of brinjal in treatment T4 was found to be higher than that of treatment T3, which was statistically at par. But the advantage in treatment T3 was requirement of 25 % less amount of fertilizer. Considering requirement of less amount of fertilizer in treatment T3 than treatment T4; the treatment T3 may be suggested as a best treatment. Minimum yield of brinjal was found in treatment of traditional fertilization at 100 % RDF. Higher irrigation water use efficiency 7.33 q/ha-cm was found in treatment of drip fertigation at 150 % RDF (T4) followed by treatment of drip fertigation at 125 % RDF (T3). On the basis of benefit cost ratio (3.22) and net monetary returns (267653 Rs/ha), it is economically viable for the farmers to adopt drip fertigation at 125 % RDF for brinjal production.
