Agriculture University, Kota

The Agriculture University, Kota (AUK) was established on 14th September, 2013 after bifurcation of the Maharana Pratap University of Agriculture & Technology (MPUAT), Udaipur and Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University (SKRAU), Bikaner through promulgation of Act No. 22 of 2013. The University has been created for the agricultural development in South-East and Eastern Rajasthan which is having diversified agriculture situations from rainfed to canal irrigated agriculture. The Agriculture University has its Headquarter at Borkhera Farm, Kota & is located on Kota-Baran National highway-76. Kota district is situated in the South-Eastern part of Rajasthan and comes under Humid South-Eastern Plain Zone (agro climatic zone V). It lies between 23045’ and 26038’ North latitude and 75037’ and 77026’ East longitude. The jurisdiction of AUK is spread over in 6 districts namely Kota, Baran, Bundi, Jhalawar, Karauli and Sawai Madhopur. It accounts for 9.98 % geographical area, 12.67 % total human population, 9.4 % live stock population, 31.59 % forest area and 20.6 % net sown area of the state. Development and education of modern practices in the field of Agriculture, Horticulture & Forestry for sustainable livelihood of the rural masses is the main thrust of the service area of AUK.

    Efficacy of Newer Molecules of Herbicides for Weed Management in Urdbean [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper
    (COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE, UMMEDGANJ, KOTA, 2020-12-08) DHAYAL, SUMAN; Yadav, S. L.
    A field experiment entitled “Efficacy of Newer Molecules of Herbicides for Weed Management in Urdbean [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper]” was conducted during kharif 2019 at Research farm, Agricultural Research Station, Ummedganj, Kota. The experiment consisted of ten treatments viz., weedy check, two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS, pendimethalin 1 kg/ha (PE); propaquizafop 2.5% w/w @ 33.3 g/ha + imazethapyr 3.75% w/w (pre mix) ME @ 50 g/ha at 20 DAS; acifluorfen-sodium 16.5% EC @ 140 g/ha + clodinafop-propargyl 8% EC @ 70 g/ha (pre mix) at 20 DAS; fomesafen 11.1% w/w @ 220 g/ha + fluazifop-p-butyl 11.1% w/w @ 220 g/ha (pre mix) at 20 DAS; pendimethalin 30% EC @ 1 kg/ha (PE) fb propaquizafop 2.5% w/w @ 33.3 g/ha + imazethapyr 3.75% w/w (pre mix) ME @ 50 g/ha at 20 DAS; pendimethalin 30% EC @ 1 kg/ha (PE) fb acifluorfen-sodium 16.5% EC @ 140 g/ha + clodinafop-propargyl 8% EC @ 70 g/ha (pre mix) at 20 DAS; pendimethalin 30% EC @ 1 kg/ha (PE) fb fomesafen 11.1% w/w @ 220 g/ha + fluazifop-p-butyl 11.1% w/w @ 220 g/ha (pre mix) at 20 DAS and fluazifop-p-butyl 250 g/ha at 20 DAS. The experiment was laid out in randomize block design and replicated thrice. Urdbean variety Mukundra Urd 2 was used as test crop. The results showed that all weed control treatments markedly decreased crop-weed competition. Two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS and application of pendimethalin 30% EC @ 1 kg/ha (PE) fb propaquizafop 2.5% w/w @ 33.3 g/ha + imazethapyr 3.75% w/w (pre mix) ME @ 50 g/ha at 20 DAS significantly reduced density, dry matter of weeds and nutrient depletion by monocot, sedge and dicot weeds. *M.Sc. Research Scholar, Deptt. of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Ummedganj, kota **Asstt. Prof. (Agronomy), Deptt. of Agronomy, College of Agriculture,Ummedganj, KotaDespite variation amongst herbicidal treatments in respect of control of weeds, the sequential application of herbicidal treatments brought about maximum degree of reduction in total weeds compared to their mixtures or single application. Among herbicides, the maximum total weed control efficiencies at 30, 60 DAS and at harvest (73.12, 74.18 and 72.75 per cent) were achieved by applying pendimethalin 30% EC @ 1 kg/ha (PE) fb propaquizafop 2.5% w/w @ 33.3 g/ha + imazethapyr 3.75% w/w (pre mix) ME @ 50 g/ha at 20 DAS. The maximum crop dry matter accumulation at 30, 60 DAS and at harvest (10.17, 58.67 and 74.44 g/meter row length) was observed in two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS followed by pendimethalin 30% EC @ 1 kg/ha (PE) fb propaquizafop 2.5% w/w @ 33.3 g/ha + imazethapyr 3.75% w/w (pre mix) ME @ 50 g/ha at 20 DAS (9.83,, 57.27 and 73.20 g/meter row length) and plant height and branches were also significantly increased in this trend. Among herbicides, the maximum and significantly higher values of yield attributes viz. pod/plant and seeds/pod were recorded under the effect of pendimethalin 30% EC @ 1 kg/ha (PE) fb propaquizafop 2.5% w/w @ 33.3 g/ha + imazethapyr 3.75% w/w (pre mix) ME @ 50 g/ha at 20 DAS. The maximum grain yield (859 kg/ha), straw yield (1434 kg/ha) and biological yield (2292 kg/ha) was achieved in two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS. However, among herbicides, maximum grain, straw and biological yield were recorded with pendimethalin 30% EC @ 1 kg/ha (PE) fb propaquizafop 2.5% w/w @ 33.3 g/ha + imazethapyr 3.75% w/w (pre mix) ME @ 50 g/ha at 20 DAS with corresponding values 827, 1393 and 2221 kg/ha, respectively being at par with two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS. All the weed management treatments recorded maximum N, P and K uptake by grain and straw of urdbean compared to weedy check. The maximum total uptake of nitrogen (56.69 kg/ha), phosphorus (12.56 kg/ha) and potassium (36.23 kg/ha) were registered in two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS followed by pendimethalin 30% EC @ 1 kg/ha (PE) fb propaquizafop 2.5% w/w @ 33.3 g/ha + imazethapyr 3.75% w/w (pre mix) ME @ 50 g/ha at 20 DAS (52.63, 11.31 and 33.15 kg/ha). Maximum and significantly higher net return (` 21171/ha) and B: C ratio (0.81) were obtained with pendimethalin 30% EC @ 1 kg/ha (PE) fb propaquizafop 2.5% w/w @ 33.3 g/ha + imazethapyr 3.75% w/w (pre mix) ME @ 50 g/ha at 20 DAS over rest of treatments. However, it was at par with pendimethalin 30% EC @ 1 kg/ha (PE) fb fomesafen 11.1% w/w @ 220 g/ha + fluazifop-p-butyl 11.1% w/w @ 220 g/ha, (pre mix) at 20 DAS (` 16723/ha) and two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS (` 16030/ha) in net returns and at par with pendimethalin 30% EC @ 1 kg/ha (PE) fb fomesafen 11.1% w/w @ 220 g/ha + fluazifop-p-butyl 11.1% w/w @ 220 g/ha (pre mix) at 20 DAS in B: C ratio.
