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.

    EFFECT OF MULCHING ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF PIGEON PEA GENOTYPES
    (BANDA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE & TECHNOLOGY BANDA-210001, UTTAR PRADESH, INDIA, 2023-07-27) MANJU SAHU; Amit Kumar Singh
    This research work entitled, “Effect of mulching on the growth and yield of pigeon-pea genotypes” was studied at the College Research Farm of Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda during the kharif season of 2022-23. The aim of this experiment was to find out the most prominent variety of pigeon-pea that could easily produce the optimum yield with better profitability and also to appropriate the mulch that supplemented to the crop and variety in the region. The field experiment was executed in a split-plot design with 10 treatment combinations and 3 replications. The 10 treatment combination derived from 2 treatment factors namely variety and mulching However; both the treatments consisted of different levels of each. 1st treatment factor and 2 varieties namely, i) PA-421, and ii) PA-291 of pigeon-pea was kept in the main-plot and 2nd treatment factor that contains mulches namely a) wheat straw b) Chickpea straw c) Mustard straw d) Linseed straw e) No-mulch, were kept in the sub plot. In general, the weather condition was quite conducive resulting in harnessing good crop yields during the year of field experimentation. The soils of the experimental unit were silty clay and had moderate pH of 7.34 and EC 0.51 dSm-1. It was poorly fertile having organic carbon content (0.45g/ha) and available nitrogen (291.67 kg/ha) and available phosphorus (12.5 kg/ha) and potassium (204 kg/ha). The experimental crop was raised using standard following package and practise of the region. Observations on growth parameters at various stages of crop growth, and quantitative and qualitative attributes of pigeon-pea were recorded. The conducted field study reveals that pigeon-pea variety “PA-291” when sown on July 16th was performed significantly superior over tested variety PA-421 irrespective of mulching practices applied. The application of chickpea mulch when applied @ 5 ton/ remarkable in terms of growth and development that resulted in maximizing yield productivity, and profitability of the crop. The treatment combinations, t he PA-291 with the application of chickpea straw mulch. Produced a statistically similar response concerning major growth and yield attributes and ultimately resulted in identical yields. This combination practically feasible and economically viable to production of pigeon-pea.
