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.

    Evaluation of Site-Specific Nutrient Management Tools on Puddled Transplanted Rice Evaluation of Site-Specific Nutrient Management Tools on Puddled Transplanted Rice

    A field experiment was carried out to study the nitrogen management in the semiarid region of Bundelkhand by using site-specific nutrient management tools like IRRI LCC, PAU LCC, and web tool RCM on paddy crop during Kharif 2021. The experiment was conducted on heavy texture soil at Student‟s Research Farm, College of Agriculture, Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda. The experimental design was a split-plot with two main factors viz line transplanting and random transplanting, and six sub-factor site-specific nutrient management viz. Omission plot nitrogen (T1), Farmers Fertilizer Practice (T2), State Fertilizer Recommendation (T3), IRRI LCC (T4), PAU LCC (T5), and RCM (T6) with replicated thrice. The soils of experimental soil site having soil pH (8.23), electrical conductivity (1.036 dSm-1 ), organic carbon (0.34%), and available potassium (244.0 kg ha-1 ). The saving of nitrogen was observed with SSNM tools than SFR. However, the amount of nitrogen was applied through IRRI LCC 3kg higher, and PAU LCC was 10 kg higher than FFP. The minimum amount of nitrogen was applied through RCM. The overall experimental results revealed that the site-specific nutrient management tool IRRI LCC (T4) and PAU LCC (T5) had a better number of effective tillers, grains per panicle, and filled grains, thereby significantly increased the grain yield of paddy in comparison to farmers‟ fertilizer practice (T2) and State fertilizer recommendation. The RCM was also found to be superior to than FFP and SFR. The maximum B:C ratio was found with both LCC treatments viz PAU LCC and IRRI LCC (1.84),While minimum B:C ratio was recorded with FFP. The efficiency indices, agronomic efficiency was recorded with 25.87, 23.91,and 25.33 Kg grain enhancement per kg nitrogen with IRRI LCC, PAU LCC and RCM, respectively as compared to FFP (15.80 Kg grain Kg-1 ) and SFR (17.51 Kg grain Kg-1 ). The recovery efficiency of nitrogen and partial factor productivity were also recorded better with both LCC and RCM than FFP and SFR, which indicates better utilization of nitrogen in SSNM treatments. The treatments did not influence the soil properties. Hence, the study suggests the line transplanting and use of SSNM tools (IRRI LCC, PAU LCC & RCM) for the better management of nitrogen and yield maximization of transplanted rice for the Bundelkhand region. However, the results could be further verified in different rice growing location of the region.
