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.

    The Life Table Studies and Management of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) in Chickpea at Bundelkhand Region of Uttar Pradesh
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-10-01) Chauhan, Abhishek Singh; Singh, S.K.
    Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the important legume crop of India. The gram pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) is one of the major biotic constraint in increasing production and productivity of chickpea crop across the country including Bundelkhand region. Thus, present experiment was conducted on the life table study at PG laboratory Department of Entomology and eight treatments with three replications including untreated check were used for the management of H. armigera (Hubner) in RBD design on chickpea crop at Students Experimental farm of Banda University of Agricultural & Technology, Banda during 2019-20 and 2020-21. In the life table study, natural mortality i.e. 2.05%, 18.19%, 4.85% and 1.98% and was observed in younger group larvae, older group larvae, pupal stage and adult stage, during 2019-20 and 1.41%, 14.23%, 5.25% and 1.76% during 2020-21, respectively. Generation survival was recorded 0.75 and 0.80 during 2019-20 and 2020-21 and the trend index value was calculated to the tune of 0.013 during both the years. After first and second spray of biorational insecticides, minimum mean larval population was recorded in chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC during 2019-20 and 2020-21 whereas maximum mean larval population was found in control. All the treatments were significantly better than control. Percent larval reduction over control was highest in Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC, whereas it was lowest in NSKE 5% and the minimum pod damage and the maximum yield (1959.51 kg/ha during 2019-20 and 1857.51 kg/ha during 2020-21) was recorded on Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC and minimum yield (1390.05 kg/ha during 2019-20 and 1294.33 kg/ha during 2020-21) was found in control. The best treatment was found Emamectin benzoate keeping in view the cost: benefit ratio with 1:4.62 and second most effective HaNPV with 1:4.01. The treatment Chlorantraniliprole ranked on third position in terms of cost benefit ratio with 1:3.59. The minimum cost benefit ratio was recorded on NSKE 5% with 1:2.06. However, best, and second most effective treatment was recorded Chlorantraniliprole and Emamectin benzoate, respectively, in terms of declining larval population, percent pod damage and yield. Thus, on the basis of the present finding, natural mortality factors operating during the larval period were not sufficient in declining the pest population in succeeding generations due to the positive value of trend index (I) and management of H. armigera is recommended by Emamectin benzoate and HaNPV. It is recommended to conduct future research work on the conservation and augmentation of the natural enemies especially Campoletis chlorideae to get negative trend index value during larval period and test some more safer new molecules to minimize the larval population of H. armigera.
