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.

    YIELD MAXIMIZATION OF CHICKPEA VARIETIES THROUGH WATER ABSORBENTS UNDER RAINFED LATE-SOWN CONDITION
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-11-10) Yadav, Pradeep; Singh, Amit Kumar
    This research work entitled, “Yield maximization of chickpea varieties through water absorbents under rainfed late-sown condition” was studied at the College Research Farm of Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda during the winter season of 2020-21. This experiment was conducted in split plot design with two factor-treatments and three replications with a holistic aim to search out the best variety and water absorbent that enhance the crop yield and mitigate the moisture deficit stress. The treatments consisted of main plot: three water absorbents viz., Hydrogel @ 5.0 kg ha-1 , two foliar application of Salicylic Acid @ 150ppm, Hydrogel @ 5.0 kg ha-1 followed by two foliar application of Salicylic Acid @ 150ppm and sub-plot: five varieties viz., JG-14, JG16, JG-18, JG-36 and RVG-202. The experimental soil was clayey loam in texture and was having pH 7.8 and EC 0.41 dSm-1 . It was poorly fertile being low in organic carbon content (0.41) and nitrogen (190 kg ha-1 ) and medium in available phosphorus (12.1 kg ha1 ) and potassium (220.4 kg ha-1 ). The experimental field was prepared with the help of tractor-drawn implements and stubbles of previous crops and weeds were cut into pieces by cross harrowing to obtain a coarse seedbed. The application of all fertilizers (DAP and MOP) and sowing of treated seeds was undertaken using a seed cum ferti-drill keeping 30 cm apart distance between the rows and later plant to plant distance was maintained at an interval of 10 cm. Observations on growth parameters at various stages of crop growth, quantitative and qualitative attributes of Chickpea were recorded. In general, the weather condition was less congenial during the year of experimentation that resulting in slightly poor crop yields. The conducted field study during Rabi 2020-21 reveals that Chickpea variety “JG-18” when sown on November 9th at a spacing of 30*10 cm apart and fertilized at 25:60:30 kg of N:P:K per hectare under rainfed late sown condition was performed significantly superior over other varieties irrespective of water-absorbents applied. The mixed application of water-absorbents as basal (hydrogel @5 kg/ha) and foliar (salicylic acid @ 150ppm/ha twice at flower initiation and pod formation) proved remarkable in terms of growth that maximized yield productivity, and profitability. Among the treatment combination studies, the RVG-202 with the basal application of hydrogel @ 5 kg ha-1 and two foliar sprays of Salicylic acid @ 150 ppm at flowering initiation and pod formation significantly produced more number of root nodules at 45 and 60 DAS, took more number of days to mature and out-yielded the crop productivity and maximize the crop profitability.
