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.

    VARIATION AMONG THE ISOLATES OF Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. malvacearum FROM DIFFERENT LOCATION.

    Bacterial blight of cotton caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. malvacearum one of the most destructive disease of cotton inflicting considerable quantitative and qualitative losses. Mostly the disease occurred on leaves, stems. Considering the economic importance of the crop as well as disease, present study was undertaken to conduct collection of samples, isolation, identification, pathogenicity, study of different characters of pathogen, morphological variability, cultural variability and biochemical variability of selected isolates, measure growth character and colony count on the basis of temperature, pH and salt and in vitro evaluation and sensitivity test of different antiobiotics, fungicides, botanicals, bioagents, against the disease. The isolation were made from the symptomatic samples collected from different districts of Maharashtra viz. Beed(Xam-1), Parbhani(Xam-2), Akola(Xam-3), Buldhana(Xam-4), Yavatmal(Xam-5), Nanded(Xam-6), Amravati(Xam-7), Aurangabad(Xam-8). Bacterium X. axonopodis pv. malvacearum was successfully on Nutrient Agar basal culture medium. It produced pale yellow mucoid, shiny, glistering, bacterial colonies. Pathogenicity X. axonopodis pv. malvacearum was proved by spray inoculation of the bacterial suspension on cotton variety Rashi-679 in pots at ten to twelve leave stage, after predisposition to humid condition for 24hrs. The leaves were inoculated with homogenized culture of X. axonopodis pv. malvacearum. Prior to automization of the culture of leaves were slightly injured with carborendum/celite powder. Seedlings were then retained under humid condition for 24 hrs. by covering the pots with plastics bag. Pots were adequately watered. Simultaneously uninoculated plants were maintained as control. Cultural and morphological characters and variability such as colony colour and colony shape, colony size, call shape, appearance, colony margin elevation and texture of X. axonopodis pv. malvacearum were studied on NA media. The studies on biochemical characteristics of X. axonopodis pv. malvacearum showed their positive reactions for potassium hydroxide (KOH) solubility test, Tolerance to 1% NaCl whereas, Negative response for Gram staining, Indole production, and methyl red test. Measure the growth character and colony count of X. axonopodis pv. malvacearum the basis of different level temperature, different pH level and different salt concentration. The antibiotic sensitivity against X. axonopodis pv. malvacearum was studied by Paper Disk Method. Streptomycine 300 ppm was significantly superior than all the treatments showing maximum inhibition zone. Whereas antagonistic oraganism such as pseudomonas flouroscens shows the maximum inhibition zone among remaining bioagent. The plant extract neem 10% shows maximum inhibition zone among all botanicals.
