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.

    SURVEY, COLLECTION AND PHYSICO-CHEMICAL EVALUATION OF WOOD APPLE (Feronia Limonia L.) FRUITS UNDER BUNDELKHAND REGION OF UTTAR PRADESH
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda Uttar Pradesh, 2020-10-23) KUMAR, PRADEEP
    The present investigation entitled, “Survey, collection and Physico-chemical evaluation of wood apple (Feronia limonia L.) fruits under Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh” was carried out during the year 2019-2020 in the Department of Fruit Science, college of Horticulture, Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda (UP). Twenty-five genotypes of wood apple were collected from farmers’ fields of district Banda, Mahoba, Hamirpur, Jalon, and Jhansi of Uttar Pradesh. Collected fruit samples were studied for quantitative and qualitative characters. Wide variability was recorded among the collected genotypes for morphological as well as bio-chemical characters. The variability was recorded in fruit shape, leaf (shape and size), seed shape and pulp colour etc. The variability was recorded for fruit length (4.22 cm to 7.46 cm) , fruit width (3.06 cm to 6.41cm) , diameter of fruit (4.64 cm to 6.87 cm), shell thickness (0.10 cm to 0.31 cm), fruit weight (65.9g to 238.7g), leaf length (2 cm to 4.3 cm), leaf width (.97cm to 2.3cm),seed length (4.7 mm to 8.05 mm), seed width (2.97 mm to 4.77 mm), seed weight (23.76 g to 30.4g), specific gravity (0.76g/cc to 1.12g/cc) and number of seed per fruit (102 to 652). The bio-chemical parameters also showed wide range of variation i.e. TSS (10.87 0Brix to18.09 0Brix), acidity (2.3% to 6.25%), total sugar (1.55% to 2.38%), reducing sugar (0.86% to 1.28%), non-reducing sugar (0.69% to 1.25%), ascorbic acid (12.63mg/100g to 35.56mg/100g), protein (1.09% to5.5%), pectin (0.63% to 2.09%) and TSS and acid ratio (2.30 to 6.21%) . Reducing sugar observed significant positive correlation with non-reducing sugars. Fruits weight showed significant positive association with Length of fruit, Diameter of fruit and width of fruit. Length of fruit showed significant positive correlations at phenotypic levels with Specific gravity and Diameter of fruit. However, TSS showed significant negative correlations with vitamin -C. Wood apple fruits are consumed for making beverage, cream, sorbet, jelly, jam. RTS, toffee, Pectin and Nectar. On the basis of bio-chemical quality attributes, genotypes FS/WA-3, FS/WA-4, FS/WA-5, FS/WA-6, FS/WA-8, FS/WA-10 and FS/WA-25 were screened as promising selections which can be used for processing of wood apple-based products. These promising genotypes can be recommended for commercial multiplication, growing at farmer’s field and conservation in the field gene bank for further evaluation and release of cultivar in future.
