Acharya N G Ranga Agricultural University, Guntur

The Andhra Pradesh Agricultural University (APAU) was established on 12th June 1964 at Hyderabad. The University was formally inaugurated on 20th March 1965 by Late Shri. Lal Bahadur Shastri, the then Hon`ble Prime Minister of India. Another significant milestone was the inauguration of the building programme of the university by Late Smt. Indira Gandhi,the then Hon`ble Prime Minister of India on 23rd June 1966. The University was renamed as Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University on 7th November 1996 in honour and memory of an outstanding parliamentarian Acharya Nayukulu Gogineni Ranga, who rendered remarkable selfless service for the cause of farmers and is regarded as an outstanding educationist, kisan leader and freedom fighter. HISTORICAL MILESTONE Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University (ANGRAU) was established under the name of Andhra Pradesh Agricultural University (APAU) on the 12th of June 1964 through the APAU Act 1963. Later, it was renamed as Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University on the 7th of November, 1996 in honour and memory of the noted Parliamentarian and Kisan Leader, Acharya N. G. Ranga. At the verge of completion of Golden Jubilee Year of the ANGRAU, it has given birth to a new State Agricultural University namely Prof. Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University with the bifurcation of the state of Andhra Pradesh as per the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act 2014.

    EFFECT OF NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS IN COMBINATION WITH B10-FERTILIZERS ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF SOY BEAN (Glycine max (L.) Merrill)
    (Acharya N G Ranga Agricultural University, Guntur, 2001) REDDI RAMU, YAMMELA; REDDEPPA REDDY, M
    A fieId experiment was conducted during rabi, 1999, on sandy loam soils at Tirupaci campus of Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural university, to study the effect of nitrogen and phosphorus in combination with bio-fertilizers on growth and yield of soybean. The treatments comprised of combinations of individual as well as dual inocu l at ion of Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Phosphobacterium either alone or in corn binat ion with 50% ,75 % and 100% level of recommended dose of nitrogen, phosphorus or both, recommended dose of nitrogen and phosphorus and uninoculated control. These were rested in a randomized block design and replicated thrice. Brdyrhizobium japonicum (500 g ha-') was seed inoculated and Phosphobacterium (2 kg ha- I) was mixed with well decomposed farm yard manure along with sand (1 :5:5) and applied in seed rows at the time of sowing. Different nitrogen and phosphorus management practices have significantly influenced the growth characters, (Viz., plant height, leaf area index, total dry matter production and number as well as dry weight of nodules), yield attributes, (pod length, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and 100 seed weight), yield, (seed and stalk), nutrient uptake and post harvest soil fertility status. .'.V. Application of bio-fertilizers along with recommended dose of nitrogen and phosphorus resulted in higher stature of growth pameters than with application of recomrnended dose of nitrogen and phosphorus. Dual inoculation in combination with recommended dose of nitrogen and phosphorus has resulted in production of the tallest plants, the largest leaf area index and the highest total dry matter production, but it was on par. with Phosphobacteriurn inoculation along with recommended dose of phosphorus, at all the stages of crop growth, except 25 DAS in case of leaf area index and total dry mattes production. Plant height, leaf area index and total dry matter production of soybean were found to be the lowest with control at all the states of crop growth. Number of nodules and nodule dry weight plant were found to be the highest with dual inoculation coupled with recommended dose of nitrogen and phosphorus which was however, on par with Rhizobiurn inoculation in combination with recommended dose of nitrogen, at all the stages of crop growth except at 50 DAS in case of nodule dry weight plant -I. The least number and dry weight of nodules plant -I were observed with control. Dual inoculation coupled with recommended dose of nitrogen and phosphorus has resulted in the longest pods, more number of pods per plant and number of seeds per pod, which were however, on par with Phusphobacterium inoculation along with recommended dose of phosphoms. The length of pods, number of pods per plant and number of seeds per pod were at the lowest with control. The highest 100 seed weight was observed with dual inoculation in combination with recommended dose of nitrogen and phosphorus, while the lowest 100 seed weight was noticed with control. Dual inoculation in combination with recommended dose of nitrogen and .phosphorus has resulted in the highest seed yield, which was however in parity with Phosphobacrerium inoculation along with recommended dose of phosphorus. Rhizobium inoculation in combination with recomrnended dose of nitrogen was comparable with recornmended dose of nitrogen and phosphorus and these were the next best treatments. The lowest seed yield was recorded in control, Stalk yield of dual inoculation coupled with recommended dose of nitrogen and phosphorus and Phosphobacterium inoculation in combination with recommended dose of phospl-iorus were comparable, which were significantly superior to rest of the treatments. The lowest stalk yield was observed with control. Maximum and minimum values of harvest index were noticed with dual inoculation along with recommended dose of nitrogen and phosphorus and control, respectively. uptake of nitrogen and phosphorus were found to be the highest with dual inoculation coupled with recommended dose of nitrogen and phosphorus, which was comparable with to Phosphobacterium inocuIa tion along w i ti1 recommended dose of phosphorus, at 50 DAS and harvest. The lowest uptake of nitrogen and phosphorus was observed with contro t. Post harvest soil available nitrogen and phosphorus were found to be significantly improved with dual inoculation as well as Phosphobacteriurn inoculation along with recommended dose of nitrogen and phosphorus. Maximum gross returns, net returns and benefit-cost ratio were obtained with dual inoculation along with recommended dose of nitrogen and phosphorus, followed by Phosphobacterium inoculation in combination with recommended dose of phosphorus. In conclusion, the investigation revealed that the highest yield as well as net profit could be obtained with application of both the bio-fertilizers along with recommended dose of nirrogen and phosphorus in soybean on sandy loam soils of Tirupati. Recommended dose of nitrogen and phosphorus could be reduced upto 25 per cent with out any significant reduction in seed yield as well as net returns, when applied in combination with both rhe bio-fertilizers.

    RESPONSE OF SUNFLOWER TO NITROGEN AND SULPHUR NUTRITION
    (Acharya N G Ranga Agricultural University, Guntur, 2001) REDDI RAMU, YAMMELA; MAHESWARA REDDY, P
    A field experiment was conducted during rnbi, 2000 on sandy loam soils of Tirupati campus of Acharya N.G.Ranga Agricultu~.al University of And111-a Pradesl~, to study the response of sunflower to nitrogen and sulphur nutrition. The treatments comprised of combinations of 3 levels of nitrogen i.e., 60, 80 and 100 kg ha-' with 5 levels of sulphur i.e., 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 kg ha-' along with one control i.e., no N, no S (NOSo). A common dose of 60 kg P20s ha-' was applied as basal for all the treatments except control. The treatments were tested in Randarnojzed block design and were replicated thrice. Gypsum was applied one week before sowing and i~~co~~para~ccl \.\lcll in to thc soil. Half of nitrogen was applied as basal and remaining ni~rogell was top clrcssed a1 50 UAS. Graded levels of nitrogen and sulphur significantly influenced the growth parameters of sunflower (viz., plant heigh~, leaf area indes and total dl->I 1~1iILIer production), yield attl-ibutes (head diameter, toral number of seeds per head, filled seeds per head and test weight), yield (seed and stalk), nutrient ~~ptalte (nit'-oge~i and sull~hur) and post harvest soil fertility status. The response to si~lphul- was 11101-e cons]-~icuous at I-~igl~ci. levels of nitrogen. Application of 100 kg N along with 40 kg S ha-' (NluoSsn) has resul~ed in ~l~e productioil of the tallest plants, largest LA1 and highest total dry rnatler a[ all [he srages or crop growth, but it was 011 par with NIOOS~O and NIOOS~~ Plalt height, IJAl and tolal clry matter of su~~flower were found at their lowest with control (NOSo) at all the stages of crop growtl~. Appreciable variation in the stature of yield attributes (head diameter, total number of seeds per head, filled seeds per head and test weight) and yield (seed and stalk) were found with different combination levels of nitrogen and sulphur. The largest head diameter, highest total and filled seeds per head and test weight were registered with N1~oS40, which were however, on par with NlooS30 and N1ooS20. Head diameter, total and filled seeds head-' and test weight recorded with NsoS40 which was inparity with NlooSlo, NROS~O andNlooSo, The lowest head diameter, total and filled seeds head" and test weight were noticed with control (NOSo). Application of nitrogen @ 100 kg ha-' along with sulphur (20, 30 and 40 kg ha-') resulted in higher filling percentage than rest of the treatments. The lowest filling percentage was observed with control (NOSo). The highest seed yield was recorded with NlooSllo, which was however, in parity with NIOOS30 and N100S20. Seed yield of N80S40 was comparable with NlooSlo, NSoS30 and NlooSo and these were the next best treatments. The lowest seed yield was recorded with control (NOSo). Stalk yield of NlooS40, NloaS;(, and NlctoSzo were coli~pa~-able, which were significantly superior to rest of the treatments. Lower stalk yield was observed \\lirll control (NOSo). The highest and lowest values of harvest indes were noticed with NlooS-lo and NOSo (Control), respectively. Nitrogen and sulphur uptalte were higher with NIOOS3U co~npal-ed to other treatments, whicli were however, on par with NlooS30 and NlooSzo. The lowest uptal
