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.

    MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS FOR DECIPHERING GENETIC VARIATION IN MUNGBEAN (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek)
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2020-10-17) MISHRA, ANUJ; Kumar, Mukul
    The present investigation entitled “Multivariate analysis for deciphering genetic variation in mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek)” was conducted at agriculture farm, BUAT, Banda during Kharif 2019 to determine the variation for nine qualitative traits viz; anthocyanin pigmentation, plant type, growth habit, leaf shape, pod curvature, pod colour, seed size, seed colourand seed lusture. The extent of variability, correlation coefficient among the important economic traits, direct and indirect effects of yieldcontributing traits and genetic divergence amongthe genotypes weredetermine for vegetative period, reproductive period, plant height, number of branches per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per cluster, number of pods per plant, pod length, number of seeds per pod, seed index, biological yield per plant, harvest index andseedyield per plant. The experiment was conducted in augmented design with 205genotypes including five checks. Among all the genotypes the considerable amount of morphological variability was present for plant type, pod curvature, mature pod colour, seed size and seed lusture and these traits may be exploited in breeding programme for qualitative purpose in mungbean. The three genotypes namely, Yellow selection,BMS 18-7 and Sonamung 1-2 was identified as yellow seeded and these can be used for improvement of phytic acid content. The analysis of variance revealed significant mean sum of squares due to genotypes for all traits except for number of branches per plant. Based on significant per se performance, genotype IPM 2-19, AKM/NP/8/9, PAU 911, ML 1299, IC 296672, Taram18 and SML 1815 can be used for the improvement of seed yield along with other traits. The high estimates of GCV, PCV, heritability broad sense along with high genetic advance over mean were observed for number of branches per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per cluster, number of pods per plant and seed yield per plant. This clearly indicates preponderance of additive gene action with low environmental influence for the determination of these characters and could be effective in phenotypic selection. The present study indicated that seed yield per plant had not only significant and positive correlation with harvest index, biological yield per plant, number of pods per plant and number of pods per cluster but also highly influenced by these traits both directly and indirectly. It is therefore, suggested that selection based on harvest index, biological yield per plant, number of pods per plant and number of pods per cluster may result in improvement of seed yield in mungbean. Principal component analysis showed that vegetative period, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per cluster, number of pods per plant and harvest index was the principal discriminatory characteristics. Hence, it is suggested to consider these traits as parameter in selecting genetically diverse parents for hybridization programme. All 205 genotypes (including checks) were grouped into five clusters. On the basis of inter cluster distance and per se performance of genotypes across the traits with desirable direction, the hybridization programme of genotypes IPM 2-3, Selection 18-5, Asha mung and BMS 18-11 with genotypes IPM 2-19, AKM/NP/8/9, Taram 18, ML 1299, Selection 18-3, IC 296672 and MH 805 and with genotypes PAU 911, SML 1455, CO-5 and Brazil mung may be useful for generating materials for improvement of yield and most of its important traits.
