Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda

Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda has been established as a full-fledged State University, having unique honour of being the “First Agricultural University of Bundelkhand Region”. The University was notified vide Government Order No. 301/79-V-1-10-1 (Ka) 27-2009 Lucknow and established on 2nd March 2010 under Uttar Pradesh Agriculture University Act (Sanshodhan) 1958 Gazette-Adhiniyam 2010. Initially it was named as “Manyawar Shri Kanshiram Ji University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda”, which was changed as “Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda” vide Uttar Pradesh Agriculture University Act (Sanshodhan) Adhiniyam, 2014, No. 1528(2)/LXXIX-V-1-14-1(Ka)-13-2014 dated 4th December 2014. The University has been established for the development of the agriculture and allied sectors in the Uttar Pradesh on the whole and Bundelkhand region in particular. It is committed to serve the Bundelkhand region with trinity concept, i.e. complete integration of teaching, research and extension for the development of agriculture and allied sectors in order to ensure food security and enhance socio-economic status of inhabitants. State Government of Uttar Pradesh has assigned the University with the responsibilities of (a) human resource generation and development, (b) generation and perfection of technologies, and (c) their dissemination to the farmers, orchardists and dairy farmers in the Chitrakoot Dham and Jhansi divisions. The Chirtrkoot Dham Division consists of four districts, namely Banda, Chitrakoot (Karvi), Mahoba and Hamirpur whereas Jhansi Division consists of Jhansi, Lalitpur and Jalaun (Orai) districts.

    Response of Summer Maize (Zea mays L.) to Irrigation Scheduling Under Conventional and Organic Farming
    (Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda (U.P.- 210 001), 2022-07-21) Kumar, Praveen; Kalhapure, Aniket Hanumant
    An agronomic investigation to study the response of various system of farming under different irrigation scheduling treatments was conducted during summer season of year 2020-21 at IFS research Unit farm in Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda (U.P.- 210 001). The experiment was laid out in split plot design with four replications. Two system of farming treatments (viz. Conventional farming and Organic farming) were allocated to main plots; whereas irrigation scheduling with three ratios (viz. 1.0 IW: CPE, 0.75 IW: CPE, 0.50 IW: CPE) were allocated in sub plots. Emergence count taken at 15 DAS was observed to be not affected by various main and sub plot treatments. However higher plant stand at harvest was recorded in 1.0 IW: CPE ratio over rest of the treatments. The growth parameters viz. plant height, leaf area, dry matter was found superior in organic farming at later stages of crop growth over conventional farming. However, yield parameters viz. number cobs per plant, number of grains per cob and test weight along with grain and stover yield was observed equivalent in conventional and organic farming practices in a single season of study. Highest net monetary return and B:C ratio in summer maize is generated through conventional system of farming. Irrigation scheduling with 1.0 IW:CPE ratio produces superior plant growth and yield attributing characters and yield which was equivalent to 0.75 IW:CPE ratio. Higher net monetary return and B:C ratio was recorded in irrigation scheduling with 0.75 IW:CPE ratio. Soil properties were also enriched with higher organic carbon and available N, P, K under organic cultivation of maize and 0.75 IW: CPE ratio.
