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.

    GENETIC ANALYSIS OF YIELD AND ITS ATTRIBUTING TRAITS IN LENTIL (Lens culinaris Medik.)
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda Uttar Pradesh, 2020-11-19) Kishor, Ram
    Lentil grains are rich source of protein containing about 26% protein and therefore are considered as poor man’s meat, and contains high amount of vitamins, minerals, pre-biotic carbohydrates and rich source of Fe and Zn. 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 during rabi 2019-2020. The experimental materials comprised eighty four genotypes of lentil containing exotic as well as indigenous germplasm lines of lentil including four check varieties viz., DPL-62, KML-320, L4076 and IPL316. Analysis of variance showed significant difference for all the traits under study except harvest index while, variation due to genotypes were significant for all the traits except plant height, number of seeds per pod and harvest index. The maximum value of PCV and GCV were found for the traits biological yield per plant (45.38% and 35.97%, respectively) while minimum for days to maturity (2.28% and 1.96%, respectively). The magnitude of high heritability in broad sense was found for days to maturity (73.99%) followed by 100-seed weight (69.19) and high genetic advance as percent of mean was observed for biological yield per plant (58.74%). Traits such as number of pods per plant, biological yield, seed index, number of secondary branches, harvest index and plant height showed highest positive significant correlation with seed yield. Path coefficient analysis revealed that the highest positive direct effect on seed yield per plant exerted by number of pod per plant, followed by seed weight while other traits contributing considerably medium direct effect biological yield, harvest index, primary branches per plant, days to 50% flowering, days to maturity and secondary branches per plant. In cluster analysis, eighty-four germplasm lines were grouped into four different non-overlapping clusters in which cluster II had the maximum number of genotypes (33 genotypes) followed by cluster I (24 genotypes), cluster III (15 genotypes) and cluster IV (12 genotypes). The first five principal components showed 76.22% 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 KLB-115 and genotypes IPLS-09-33, L-112-16, ILL-7723, KLB114, LEE-18-165 and EC-522160 had the highest seed yield.
