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.

    EFFECT OF SULPHUR RATES AND SOURCES ON MUSTARD (Brassica Juncea L.) PRODUCTIVITY AND SOIL HEALTH
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-10-10) SINGH, SAURABH; Pathak, Jagannath
    A field experiment entitled “Effect of sulphur rates and sources on mustard (Brassica juncea L.) productivity and soil health” conducted during rabi season of 2020-21 at Integrated Farming System (IFS) unit of Banda university of agriculture and technology, Banda. The experiment was comprises of seven treatments and four replications and laid out under RBD. Three different levels of sulphur (15, 30 & 45 kg ha-1 ) and two sources viz. elemental sulphur and 80% WDG were tested on mustard variety NRCHB-101. The results revealed that both the sources of sulphur were found comparable and statistically at par with each other. Growth attributes like plant height, dry matter accumulation and number of branches plant-1 were increased significantly with the increase of sulphur levels up to 45 kg S ha-1 irrespective of sources of sulphur. When compare the levels of sulphur (15, 30 & 45) with each other data revealed that 30 kg S ha-1 was significantly superior over 15 kg S ha-1 but it was at par with 45 kg S ha-1 i.e. further increase in sulphur levels from 30 to 45 could not achieve the level of significance. Yield attributes like number of siliqua plant-1 , number of seeds siliqua-1 , and 1000 seed weight increased significantly with the increase of sulphur doses and up to 30 kg S ha-1 significant response was recorded because 45 kg S ha-1 was at par with 30 kg S ha-1 . Effect of sulphur doses and sources on seed, stover and biological yields were also studied. Best treatment T3 (30 kg elemental S ha-1 ) gave 2075 kg ha-1 seed yield over the control. Seed yield obtain under T3 was 458 kg and 22.07 % more over control. Sulphur concentration in seed (0.81) and stover (0.50) and total uptake of sulphur (43.88 kg ha-1 ) was significantly best in treatment T3 followed by T6. Review of data related to economic studies showed higher gross return (Rs/ha 96488), net return (Rs/ha 58109), B:C ratio (2.51) and VCR (1.51) were found in treatment T3 followed by treatment T6. Effect of applied treatment on soil fertility status of soil pH, EC, organic carbon, available N, available P and exchangeable K were non-significant. The sulphur content in soil increase with increasing levels of sulphur and highest (18.01 mg kg-1 soil) sulphur content was noticed in treatment T4. Overall application of 30 kg S ha-1 irrespective of sources was found to be optimum dose for sulphur management in the mustard crop to the farmers of this region.
