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.

    ECOLOGICAL NICHE MODELLING FOR PREDICTING SUITABLE HABITAT FOR VULNERABLE TREE SPECIES Buchanania cochinchinensis (LOUR.) M.R. ALMEIDA IN VINDHYA REGION, UTTAR PRADESH,
    (DEPARTMENT OF SILVICULTURE AND AGROFORESTRY COLLEGE OF FORESTRY BANDA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE & TECHNOLOGY, BANDA- 210001, UTTAR PRADESH (INDIA), 2023-08-08) SWETENDRA KUMAR TRIGUNAYAT; Kaushal Singh
    A study was carried out during the year 2022-23 with a view to predict the future distribution range of Chironji (Buchanania cochinchinensis); identify the bioclimatic variables limiting the distribution and characterization of ecological niche in the Vindhya region of Uttar Pradesh., Two different ecological niche models (BioClim and MaxEnt) were applied to determine future species distribution ranges and identify limiting bioclimatic variables for real occurrence data of 57 locations. The ecological niche of the species was evaluated by using soil characters, present climatic conditions, population size, topography, and identifying the associates. The GeoCAT and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) were used to find out the population size and topography. Results of the study showed soil pH varied from 6.46 to 7.92, Nitrogen from low (213 kg/ha) to medium (389 kg/ha), Phosphorus was medium (13.50-22.50 kg/ha), and Potassium low (84 kg/ha) to high (662 kg/ha), with 210m to 520m elevation and population size 4.515km2 (Extent of Occurrence) and 23 km2 (Area of Occupancy) with Mahua, Tendu, and Sal as associates. The distribution ranges were found with 80% overlap between the baseline (2030) and predicted (2100) habitat suitability for the focal species, which were primarily determined by the mean temperature of the warmest quarter (Bio_10) and precipitation of the driest quarter (Bio_17) that emerged to be the most sensitive with the contribution of 29.5% and 22.3% respectively. The present (2030) and future (2100) projections suggest 13.73 % low suitable, 86.27 % medium suitable and 1.52 % low suitable, 98.48 % medium suitable area respectively for the distribution and cultivation of the chironji. The findings of the study provide insight into the suitable habitats of B. cochinchinensis for its promotion and conservation in Banda, Hamirpur, Kaushambi, Bhadohi, Prayagraj, and Chitrakoot forest divisions
