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 Blackgram varieties to different NPK doses in Bundelkhand region of U.P.
    (Department of Agronomy College of Agriculture Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda, U.P., 2023-08-26) Swati Maurya; Aniket Hanumant Kalhapure
    An agronomic investigation to study the response of blackgram varieties to different NPK doses was conducted during kharif season of year 2022-23 at college of agriculture research Unit in Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda (U.P.- 210001). The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. Three varieties (viz. Azad-3, IPU 10-26 and IPU 11-02) were allocated to main plots; whereas three NPK doses (viz. 75%, 100% and 125% recommended dose of NPK) were allocated in sub plots. Higher growth attributing characters at different crop stages (viz. final plant stand, plant height, number of branches, leaf area index, plant dry matter and number of nodules) and yield attributing characters at harvest (viz. number of pods plant, pod length, number of grain pod and test weight) were produced in blackgram variety IPU 10-26 with 100% recommended dose of NPK over rest of the treatments. Similarly, higher grain and stover yield, along with highest harvest index and B:C ratio was recorded in variety IPU 10-26 with 100% recommended dose of NPK as compared to all the other treatments. However, yield parameters viz. number pod per plant, number of grains per pod and test weight along with grain and stover yield was observed equivalent in 125% and 100% recommended dose of NPK in a single season of study. Higher net monetary return and B C ratio was recorded in IPU 10-26 with 100% recommended dose of NPK

    RESPONSE OF GREENGRAM [Vigna radiata (L.)] VARIETIES TO VARIOUS NPK DOSES UNDER BUNDELKHAND AGRO-CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
    (BANDA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE & TECHNOLOGY BANDA-210001, UTTAR PRADESH (INDIA), 2023-08-07) MILIND SAGAR; Narendra Singh
    An experiment was conducted at University Research Farm, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda (U.P.) on the topic entitled “Response of greengram [Vigna radiata (L.)] varieties to various NPK doses under Bundelkhand Agro-climatic conditions” during kharif 2022. The main aim of this experiment is to find out the best performing greengram variety, most suitable dose of fertilizer and interaction among them. The experiment comprises of two factor treatments conducted in Split plot design with three main plot factors and three sub-plot factors. The total combination of treatments was nine and each treatment replicated thrice. The main plot consists of three greengram varieties, IPM 02-3, IPM 410-3 and PDM-139. Further, each main plot is divided into three sub-plots consists of three different recommended doses of fertilizers viz., 75%, 100% and 125% RDF where, 100% RDF consist of 25:50:30 NPK kg ha-1 . The soil in which experiment conducted was silty clay, pH value is (7.85), E.C. (0.28 dSm-1 ), Organic carbon (0.41%), available N2 (192 kg ha-1 ), P2O5 (9.42 kg ha-1 ), K2O (208.04 kg ha-1 ). Observations on growth parameters, quantitative and qualitative attributes of greengram were recorded as and when required. The following conducted study reveals that the greengram variety IPM 02-3 performs better in comparison to other varieties i.e., IPM 410-3 and PDM-139. Among doses, 125% RDF of NPK had recorded better performance regarding growth attributes viz., Plant height (cm), plant dry matter (g plant-1 ), number of branches (plant-1 ) and LAI and yield attributing parameters viz., Number of pods (plant-1 ), length of pods (cm), test weight (g), straw yield (q ha-1 ) and biological yield (q ha-1 ). The interaction of variety IPM 02-3 with 125% RDF of NPK in growth viz., LAI and rhizobium root nodule count (plant-1 ) and yield viz., Number of pods (plant-1 ), biological yield (q ha-1 ) is found to be best in comparison to 75% and 100% RDF. Economically, 100% recommended dose of fertilizer of NPK was significantly higher in gross return, net return and B:C ratio. Based on the experimental observations, it was concluded that farmers under Bundelkhand Agro-climatic conditions can cultivate greengram variety “IPM 02-3” with 100% recommended dose of fertilizer for achieving maximum growth, yield and economical benefits.

    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.
