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. The ANGRAU at LAM, Guntur is serving the students and the farmers of 13 districts of new State of Andhra Pradesh with renewed interest and dedication.

    PHYSIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF SUPER EARLY AND MID EARLY PIGEONPEA (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp) GENOTYPES FOR DELAYED KHARIF SOWING
    (Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University, Guntur, 2021-11-22) DEEPIKA, G.; SANDHYA RANI, Dr. P.
    The present research was accomplished on “Physiological evaluation of super early and mid-early pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp) genotypes for delayed kharif sowing” on sandy loam soils of dryland farm of S.V. Agricultural College, Tirupati campus of Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University during late kharif, 2019-20. The field experiment was planked down through randomized block design with three replications. Ten pigeonpea genotypes of two different flowering pattern viz., two super early determinate genotypes, ICPL 20338 (V1) and ICPL 11255 (V2) matured by 108 and 107 days, respectively. Whereas super early indeterminate genotypes, ICPL 20325 (V3), ICPL 88039 (V4) matured by 141 and 140 days. However, mid early genotypes, AKTE 12-04 (V5), WRG 121 (V6), TRG 111 (V7), KRG 33 (V8), WRG 93 (V9) and PRG 176 (V10) matured in 154, 150, 148, 146, 147 and 145 days, respectively. Recommended dose of 25-30 kg ha-1 N, 50 kg ha-1 P2O5 and 30 kg ha-1 K2O were applied in the form of urea, single super phosphate and murate of potash, respectively. The observations at 30 days interval were recorded on photothermal units, morphological parameters, growth parameters, yield and its attributes. Significant differences among the genotypes were observed for plant height, number of branches, drymatter partitioning and growth parameters. Among super early genotypes, indeterminate genotype (ICPL 88039) recorded highest GDD (2250.3, 2452.5 oC day), PTU (27296.1, 29626.2 oC day hour), HTU (11794.9, 12684.9 oC day hour) at initiation of flowering and 50% flowering, respectively and also recorded highest plant height (175.72 cm), total drymatter (168.04 g plant-1), CGR (2.51 g m-2 day-1) whereas super early indeterminate genotype ICPL 20325 recorded highest xiii GDD (3691.8 oC day), PTU (48694.2 oC day hour), HTU (19359.4 oC day hour), HUE (0.54 kg ha-1 oC-1 day-1), number of branches (26), leaf area (857.22 cm2 plant-1), leaf area index (0.71), leaf area duration (28 days), number of pods per plant (226), number of seeds per pod (4), hundred seed weight (10.12 g), pod yield (5130 kg ha-1), seed yield (2000 kg ha-1), harvest index (37.17%) but highest net assimilation rate (0.0057 g m-2 day-1) was shown by super early determinate genotype, ICPL 11255 at harvest. Among mid early genotypes, AKTE 12-04 accumulated highest GDD (2553.1, 4001.7 oC day), PTU (30764.3, 52301.6 oC day hour), HTU (13457.8, 21915.5 oC day hour) at days to flower initiation and maturity, respectively whereas WRG 93 accumulated highest GDD (2919.7 oC day), PTU (36058.3 oC day hour), HTU (14735.1oC day hour) at days to 50% flowering and WRG 121 recorded highest HUE (0.53 kg ha-1 oC-1 day-1) plant height (219.68 cm), number of branches (30), number of pods per plant (232), number of seeds per pod (4), hundred seed weight (12.40 g), pod yield (5569 kg ha-1), seed yield (2083 kg ha-1) and harvest index (36.44%). Whereas, TRG 111 recorded highest total drymatter (218.66 g plant-1) leaf area (1585.80 cm2 plant-1) crop growth rate (4.73 g m-2 day-1), leaf area index (1.32), leaf area duration (58 days) but KRG 33 recorded highest net assimilation rate (0.0024 g m-2 day-1) at harvest. In the present investigation among super early genotypes evaluated, ICPL 20325 recorded more seed yield of 2000 kg ha-1 with high HUE of 0.55 kg ha-1 oC-1 day-1 matured in 141 days followed by ICPL 88039 (1638 kg ha-1) matured in 140 days. Among mid early genotypes, WRG 121 recorded more seed yield (2083 kg ha-1) and HUE (0.53 kg ha-1 oC-1 day-1) which matured in 150 days followed by TRG 111 (1944 kg ha-1) which matured in 148 days. Hence, ICPL 20325, ICPL 88039, which matured earlier than WRG 121 and TRG 111; also accumulated more dry matter from 50% flowering to maturity were best suitable under delayed kharif conditions for Southern zone of Andhra Pradesh.
