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.

    Characterization of germplasm and inter-relationship studies based on agro-morphological traits in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda Uttar Pradesh, 2020-10-20) KUMAR, AMIT; Kumar, Hitesh
    Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the second most valuable food legume crop which provides high amount of nutrition to human population. The present investigation was carried out in augmented design to study genetic diversity and characterization of 90 germplasm lines with four checks using 17 quantitative and 13 qualitative characters at Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda, Uttar Pradesh, India, during Rabi 2018-19. The ANOVA exhibited significant difference for all the traits studies except early plant vigor, plant height, height of first pod, number of primary branches, number of secondary branches, number of pod per plant, number of seeds per pod among the genotypes. The maximum GCV and PCV was estimated for height of first pod (35.28 and 39.29), seed yield per plant (29.77 and 40.32) and number of primary branches (25.63 and 31.44). The greater heritability with genetic advance was estimated in seed index (96.61%) while high genetic advance percent mean was measured for height of first pod (65.27%). The correlation analysis revealed the highest positive and significant association of seed yield with number of seeds per pod, number of pods per plant, seed index, number of secondary branches, number of primary branches and height of first pod. Path coefficient analysis revealed that seed yield per plot had the highest positive and direct effect on the number of seeds per pod, number of pods per plant, seed index, number of secondary branches. The genetic diversity was estimated through D2 analysis which grouped genotypes into 8 clusters with different number in each. The maximum number of genotypes (32) were present in cluster II followed by cluster I (28), cluster III (12), cluster VI (8), cluster V (7), cluster VII (3) and cluster IV and VIII had only one genotype. Cluster VII and IV showed maximum intercluster distance (179096.9) indicating highest genetic diversity among the genotypes of these clusters. Principal component analysis transformed recorded parameters into three variables (PCs) which contributes 97.78 percent of the total variation. Further, PCA revealed the maximum contribution of days to flower initiation to the principal component first (92.96%). The genotype ICVT 18116, ICVT 181111 and ICVT 181115 were matured in 110 days. The genotypes ICVT 181103, ICVT 181102, RLBG-2, BG 5030, ICVT 181111, ICVT 181104, ICVT 181109, GNG 2372, KGD 11-1 and so many more showed highest yield over all four checks. The genotypes identified for desirable traits and showing genetic distance may utilize as a parental lines for hybridization program in the improvement of chickpea grain yield and its contributing trait.
