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.

    SPATIAL MODELLING OF SOIL FERTILITY OF KANWARA MINOR LIFT CANAL COMMAND AREA IN BANDA DISTRICT OF BUNDELKHAND
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2020-09-30) Chaubey, Chandrakant; Chaubey, A.K.
    The present investigation was carried out in 2019-20 with an aim to assess the fertility status of the head and middle end of minor lift canal command area (602.405 ha), prepare soil fertility maps using Geostatistical tools and evaluate the spatial variability of different soil parameters. The georeferenced soil samples were collected and analysed adopting standard protocols. The data pertaining to soil reaction (pH), electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon (OC) and available N, P and K ranged 6.79 to 9.18, 0.03 to 0.95 dSm... 0.25 to 0.67%, 159.94 to 282.24 kg ha'', 6.63 to 27.27 kg ha'', 123.2 to 414.4 kg ha'' with mean value of 7.40, 0.51dSm', 0.39%, 199.25 kg ha', 10.88 kg ha' and 253.62 kg hal, respectively. The Values of SD and CV were observed 0.27 and 3.65%, 0.17 and 33.77%, 0.10 and 25.81%, 28.61 and 14.36%, 3.82 and 35.07%, 87.57 and 34.53 %, respectively for pH, EC, OC, available N, P and K. Out of total 211 samples about 53% samples (maximum) felled in neutral category and 45% in slightly alkaline pH range. All the samples were having EC <1.0 dSm (non-saline). Out of 211 samples, maximum samples 83.89% and 99.53% belonged to low category for OC and available N. The spatial distribution of available P in study area revealed that 44.55% samples were found in the medium range followed by 54.03% in the low category. In case of available K maximum (55.45%) samples belonged to high category, followed by (44.54%) samples of medium category. The pH was negatively correlated (-0.153') with soils available P at the 5% level of significance. The EC values of soil samples showed positive significant correlation with available N (0.225") and OC (0.215") at the 1% level of significance. Organic carbon values of soil samples were highly correlated with soil available N (0.550") and available K (0.212"). Nutrient index value (NIV) for available N (1.00), P (1.47) and OC (1.16) were found in the low category confirming low fertility status of respective nutrients in the study area except available K (2.55). which was found in the high category. GIS based thematic map of soil reaction (pH) showed that 474.245 ha (78.70%) and 117.865 ha (19.60%) area belonged to neutral and slightly alkaline pH category. GIS based thematic map of soil EC showed all the soils of the study area was non-saline. Predicted area of different classes in GIS based thematic map of soil OC and available N showed that maximum 541.7675 ha (90.00%) and 589.460 ha (97.90%) area was recorded in the low category. For available P maximum 312.255 ha (51.80%) area was recorded in the medium category followed by 290.150 ha (48.20%) in the low category. For available K maximum 569.8725 ha (94.60%) area was recorded in the medium category. GIS based interpolated, thematic maps of studied parameters helped in knowing the extent of area in each and every category or classes of fertility, which was not possible with the help of point data. This study will help in guiding for development of resource based land use plan for maintaining the sustainability in soil and crop.
