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.

    SEASONAL INCIDENCE OF TOBACCO CATERPILLAR AND AMERICAN BOLLWORM IN GROUNDNUT AND BIO-EFFICACY OF NOVEL INSECTICIDES AGAINST BOLLWORM COMPLEX
    (Banda University of Agriculture &Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh (India), 2022-08-25) Jagmohan; Mishra, Mukesh Kumar
    The present investigations were carried out at Research Block of College of Agriculture, BUAT, Banda during Kharif 2021 for study the incidence of two important defoliators viz., Tobacco caterpillar, S. litura and American bollworm, H. armigera on groundnut variety Dharani. The result revealed the tobacco caterpillar first noticed on early stage of the crop followed by American bollworm and continued till harvest. The incidence of both the insect-pests was fluctuating under varying weather conditions. Of these, S. litura initiated with mean larval population of 0.21 plant-1 and reached it maximum (7.01 larvae plant-1 ) in last week of September (39thSW), Whereas H. armigera initiated with mean larval population of 0.19 plant-1 in 4thweek of August (34thSW) and reached to its maximum (5.02 larvae plant-1 ) in first week of October (40thSW). The meteorological variable had non-significant correlation except maximum relative humidity. The temperature (max. & min.) and minimum RH had positive correlation whereas the rainfall had negative correlation with larval population of S. litura. However, the H. armigera had positive correlation with max. temp. and max. RH, whereas it had negative correlation with min. temp., min RH and rainfall. Two predator species viz., coccinellids and spiders were recorded at different stages of the crop growth. The coccinellids were first noticed in 3rdweek of August (33rdSW) however, appearance of spiders was first noticed in 32ndSW. The results revealed that population of natural predators was gradually increased with an increase of the larval population bollworm species and significantly correlated. Among tested insecticides, chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC @ 30g a.i. ha-1 followed by cyantraniliprole 10 OD @ 90g a.i. ha-1 and novaluron 5.25 + indoxacarb 4.5 SC @ 39.38+33.77g a.i. ha-1were found most effective against S. litura and H. armigera, that significantly reduced the larval population with maximum per cent field bioefficacy in groundnut. The maximum yield (22.37 qha-1 ), increase over control (52.00 per cent), net return (Rs.55765.00 ha-1 ) were recorded from chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC followed by cyantraniliprole 10 OD and novaluron 5.25 + indoxacarb 4.5 SC. Based on cost: benefit ratio, chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC (1:6.80) was most economical followed by flubendiamide 20 WG (1:5:12) and lambda cyhalothrin 5 EC (1:3.92).
