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.

    EFFECT OF PRE AND POST EMERGENCE HERBICIDES ON WEED DYNAMICS, GROWTH, YIELD AND ECONOMICS OF BLACK GRAM (Vigna mungo L.)
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2020-11-21) Kumar, Vivek; Singh, Amit Kumar
    The field experiment was carried out at the Agricultural farm of Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda on the prescribed topic "Effect of pre and post-emergence herbicides on weed dynamics, growth, yield, and economics of black gram (Vigna mungo L.)" during Kharif season of the year 2019. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications and 10 treatments in a clayey loam having soil pH 7.7. The treatments consist of pre-emergence herbicides namely, Pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg a.i./ha and Imazethapyr @ 0.06 kg a.i./ha and post-emergence herbicides viz. Quizalofop-p-ethyl @ 0.05 kg a.i./ha, Halosufuron @ 27 g a.i./ha and Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl @ 0.10 kg a.i./ha applied at 25 DAS along with two checks i.e., weed free and weedy check (Hand weeding). During the field study, it was observed that prominent weed flora Cyperus rotundus (L.), Cynodon dactylon (L.), Saccharum spontaneum (L.), Phyllanthus niruri (L.), Digera arvensis, Ziziphus nummularia, Abelmoschus moschatus, Commelina benghalensis (L.) and Vigna radiata var. sublobata etc. were noticed and their effective and hasty control was also realized. The results revealed that weed-free treatment remained the best though found at par with herbicide layering of different molecules. Therefore, the simplest conclusion can be drawn from the present field study that herbicide layering of pre and post-emergent molecules namely, Pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg a.i.at 2 DAS followed by Quizalofop-p-ethyl@ 0.05 kg a.i. at 20 DAS per hectare was found the most effective and produced greater seed yield (1146 kg/ha), the total biomass of 3660 kg/ha, net returns (Rs. 50383/ha), and B:C ratio (3.28:1). However, weed-free produced the maximum seed yield of 1229 kg/ha but failed to be remunerative due to the intensive engagement of labour during two hand weedings at 20 DAS and 40 DAS. Thus generated technology holds promise for on-farm adoption for enhancing the yield productivity by minimizing weeds in terms of better weed control efficiency (77.89%) and weed index (6.67%) during Kharif season under the prevailing climatic conditions of Bundelkhand in general and Banda in particular.
