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.

    ThesisTitle “Assessment of combined terminal heat and drought stress tolerance in wheat (Triticum spp.)”

    Wheat is a second staple food crop and which feeds billions of people around globally while its productivity hinders by high temperature and drought stress. The evaluation of genotypes under stress conditions for adaptive traits could increase selection efficiency for better performance. The present investigation was carried out with 34 wheat landraces and elite cultivars during 2020-21 & 2021-22 under optimum, heat, and a combined heat-drought stress environment at BUAT Banda & KVK Jhansi. Eleven agromorphological, five physiological, and six stress indices were used to evaluate genotypes to assess drought and heat tolerance. The pooled ANOVA indicates significant interactions in location, year, genotypes, and treatments suggesting the influence of trait development affected by stress conditions. The maximum reduction of the seed yield was observed under a combined heat-drought stress environment as compared to heat stress alone. The genotypes Local-17, and HI 8802 performed well under heat and heat-drought stress with higher yield at the Banda and HI 8627 and DBW 187 performed well under heat stress with higher yield while under heat-drought stress PDW 274 and HI 8777 were better performing genotypes at the Jhansi location The genotype PDW 274 showed stress tolerance under all treatment and both location .The genotype, PDW 233 & PDW 291 durum wheat showed the highest stress susceptibility index (SSI) across the environment at both locations. The NGS&TKW is directly positively associated with seed yield across the environment and location. Among physiological traits chlorophyll and CT are good sources of traits to select potential genotypes to cope up the adverse effect of climate change in wheat production. The combination of selection indices and consistent association with physiological traits showed the potential to increase the selection efficiency of superior genotypes.
