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.

    CHARACTER ASSOCIATION AND GENETIC DIVERGENCE STUDIES FOR YIELD AND YIELD RELATED TRAITS IN PIGEON PEA [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millspaugh]
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-10-30) KUMAR, ANUJ
    The present investigation was carried out at P.G. Research farm of College of Agriculture, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda, Uttar Pradesh, India in augmented block design-II during kharif 2020-21.The experimental materials comprised of seventy-three genotypes of pigeon pea including three check varieties viz., NDA-1, Bahar and Pant Arhar-291. Analysis of variance showed significant difference for all the traits under study except number of seeds per pod and pod length. The maximum value of PCV were found for the traits days to maturity (32.53%) and days to 50% flowering (25.65%) and PCV minimum for number of seeds per pods (3.17%). Maximum GCV was found for the traits days to maturity (32.38%) and days to 50% flowering (25.35%) and minimum GCV for number of seeds per pods (1.42%). The magnitude of high heritability in broad sense was found for days to 50% flowering (97.62%) followed by biological yield per plant (94.60%) and seed yield per plant (93.52%) and high genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for days to 50% flowering (51.59%) followed by days to maturity (39.59%). Traits such as days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, 100-seed weight, biological yield per plant, harvest index, shelling per cent showed highest positive significant correlation with seed yield at Phenotypic and Genotypic level. Path coefficient analysis revealed that the highest positive direct effect on seed yield per plant exerted by harvest index, days to maturity, 100-seed weight, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant and pod length at Phenotypic and Genotypic path correlation coefficient direct effect on seed yield. In cluster analysis, seventy-three germplasm lines were grouped into five different non-overlapping clusters in which cluster I had the maximum number of genotypes (25) followed by cluster III (19 genotypes), cluster II (14 genotypes), cluster V (09 genotypes) and cluster IV (06 genotypes). The first five principal components showed 67.893% of the total variation among the tested genotypes. The genotypes which showed highest genetic diversity can be used as a parent in hybridization program. Early flowering was found in genotype IPA-10W-8-1, IPA-12W-16, IPAM-15-2, IPAB-11-20-2, IPA-12W-46 and genotypes IPA-12W-3 and IPAB-10-13 had the highest seed yield per plant.
