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.

    Diallel Analysis for Heterosis and Combining Ability Studies in Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-09-07) Maurya, Brijesh Kumar; Neetu
    The experiment entitled “Diallel Analysis for Heterosis and Combining Ability Studies in Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]” was undertaken with the objectives (i) To estimate the magnitude of heterosis for the yield and its component, (ii) To estimate the general combining ability of parents and specific combining ability of crosses, (iii) To study the gene action involved in inheritance of yield and yield attributing traits for planning of an appropriate strategy for development of high yielding okra hybrid as well as breeding procedure. The materials of experiment consisted of ten diverse parents Arka Anamika (P1), Kashi Pragati (P2), Hisar Naveen (P3), Hisar Unnat (P4), Punjab-8 (P5), Pusa-A-4 (P6), Varsha Upahar (P7), Akola Bahar (P8), Phule Vimukta (P9) and Punjab Suhavani (P10) and their 45 F1’s obtained by crossing in half-diallel fashion were evaluated in randomized block design with three replications at Vegetable Research Farm, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda, Uttar Pradesh during Rainy season, 2020. Observations were recorded on randomly selected five plants of each block maintained for eighteen traits viz. days to first flowering, days to 50 % flowering. node at which first flower appear, days to edible fruit maturity, number of nodes per plant, internodal length (cm), number of branches per plant, plant height (cm), number of fruits per plant, fruit weight (g), fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), number of seeds per fruit, seed weight per fruit, 100-Seed weight, seed yield per plant (g), fruit yield per plant (g) and fruit yield quintal per hectare. Significant mean squares due to genotypes, parents, hybrids and parents vs. hybrids were observed for most of the traits except for days to edible fruit maturity, fruit length (cm), seed yield per plant (g), node at first flower appear, number of node per plant, internodal length (cm) and number of branches per plant. The best cross combinations over better parent were P2 × P10 (21.42 %), which may be exploited as commercial hybrid after their stability test as they are not only high yielder but also possessed attractive fruit shape and colour as per present market demand. The estimates of GCA and SCA variances were significant indicating importance of additive and non additive gene actions for all the traits. Significant GCA and SCA effects were observed for all the traits which also evidenced close association with per se performance. Varsha Upahar (P7) was found as the best combiner for days to first flowering, node number, number of fruit and fruit lenght. Higher value of Ĥ1 and Ĥ2 compared to D̂ ̂ ̂ , significance value of ĥ2 , average degree of dominance (Ĥ1/D̂) ½ and ratio of KD/KR showed the preponderance of dominance genes in the expression of yield and other traits including quality parameters, suggested that heterosis breeding approaches might be more rewarding than selection to improve yield together with quality traits in okra.
