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 THIOUREA ON GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF JACKFRUIT (Artocarpus heterophyllus L.) cv. CHANDRA
    (College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar, 2023) AJIT TIPPANNAVAR; Dr. Prerak Bhatnagar
    A field experiment entitled “Effect of thiourea on growth and development of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus L.) cv. Chandra” was conducted during the year 2022-23, at the Instructional Farm, Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar. The experiment consisted of 9 treatments laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Among different treatments, application of T8 (Thiourea 2.00%) to individual plant was found significantly superior over other treatments with respect to growth and development parameters such as per cent increase in plant height (17.84%), rootstock girth (21.82%), scion girth (21.34%), number of leaves per plant (26.55%), length of internode (9.40%), number of nodes per plant (8.13%), leaf length (10.10%), leaf width (20.68%) and leaf area (32.88%). The foliar application of thiourea had significant effect on stress parameters. The treatment T8 was found significantly superior over other treatments. The minimum proline content (0.339 μmol. g-1) was found in treatment T8 (Thiourea 2.00%) and other parameters like stomatal conductance (7.58 mmol m-2 s-1), Relative Water Content (RWC) (82.48%), chlorophyll content (2.23 mg g-1), N (1.59%), P (0.279%), K (0.572%) and S (0.218%) contents were observed maximum in treatment T8 (Thiourea 2.00%) at the time of final observation during March. From the experiment, it may be summarized that T8 (Thiourea 2.00%) proved superiority over all treatments in improving growth and development parameters of jackfruit plant and also in improving stress parameters. However, it requires more study for further confirmation of results.
