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.

    Effect of bioregulators and boron on growth, yield and quality of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) cv. Golden Acre
    (College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar, 2018-11-29) Meena, Shoji Lal; Aravindakshan, Kavita
    A field experiment entitled “Effect of bioregulators and boron on growth, yield and quality of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) cv. Golden Acre” was conducted during Rabi season, 2017-18 at the Department of Vegetable Science, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar, Rajasthan. The experiment consisting 15 treatment combinations with two factors i.e. bioregulators with five levels (control, GA3 @ 50 ppm, GA3 @ 100 ppm, NAA @ 50 ppm and NAA @ 100 ppm) and boron with three levels (control, Boric acid @ 0.1 % and Boric acid @ 0.2 %) was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications each. The individual application bioregulator treatment B1 (GA3 @ 50 ppm) gave maximum plant height (23.87 cm), plant spread (43.45 cm), number of open leaves per plant (16.18), stem length (5.03 cm), stem diameter (1.83 cm), minimum days required for head initiation (44.50), maximum chlorophyll content in leaves at 45 DAT (0.43 mg/g), volume of head (717.44 cm3), diameter of head (15.36 cm), weight of individual head (919.12 g), yield of head per plot (18.38 kg), estimated yield of head (27.10 t/ha) and application bioregulator treatment B3 (NAA @ 50 ppm) exhibited maximum ascorbic acid (48.64 mg/100 g), TSS (5.34 0Brix) and crude protein (3.07 per cent) as compared to control. In term of net return the individual application of bioregulators B1 (GA3 @ 50 ppm) exhibited maximum net return (Rs. 154943/ha) and B: C ratio (2.64) as compared to control. Similarly, The individual application of boron treatment M2 (boric acid @ 0.2 %) recorded gave maximum plant height (23.50 cm), plant spread (41.57 cm), number of open leaves per plant (15.55), stem length (4.65 cm), stem diameter (1.70 cm), minimum days required for head initiation (44.31), maximum chlorophyll content in leaves at 45 DAT (0.42 mg/g), volume of head (658.80 cm3), diameter of head (14.51 cm), weight of individual head (897.63 g), yield of head per plot (17.95 kg), estimated yield of head (26.36 t/ha), ascorbic acid (47.42 mg/100 g), TSS (4.98 0Brix) and crude protein (2.78 per cent) as compared to control. maximum net returned (Rs. 147318/ha) and B: C ratio (2.48) were recorded under treatment M2 (boric acid @ 0.2 %) as compared to control. Further, the interaction effect of application of bioregulators and boron had significant effect on growth and yield over control. The maximum plant height (23.97 cm), plant spread (44.15 cm), stem length (5.10 cm), diameter of head (15.26 cm), weight of individual head (926.67 g), yield per plot (18.53 kg), estimated yield per hectare (27.80 t), net return (Rs. 159700/ha) and B: C ratio (2.55) was recorded with treatment B1M2 (GA3 @ 50 ppm + boric acid @ 0.2 %) as compare to control.
