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.

    INTEGRATED PHOSPHORUS MANAGEMENT IN BLACKGRAM
    (ACHARYA N G RANGA AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, GUNTUR, 2019) CHARISHMA, NETHALA; SUDHA RANI, Y
    A field experiment entitled “Integrated phosphorus management in blackgram” was conducted during kharif, 2017 on sandy clay loam soil of Agricultural College Farm, Bapatla with a view to study the influence of integrated use of inorganic and organic phosphorus on soil properties (physical, physico- chemical and chemical properties) and performance of blackgram (PU 31) in terms of yield, nutrient content and uptake. The experiment was laid out in RBD with eight treatments replicated thrice. Well decomposed farmyard manure @ 5 t ha-1was applied to the field as per recommended dose one week before sowing. The inorganic nitrogen through urea was applied in 2 splits (as basal and at flowering) equally to all treatments i.e.T2 to T8 except control (T1). Entire quantity of P2O5 in the form of SSP was applied according to the treatments as basal application one day before sowing. K2O in the form of MOP was applied to all the treatments as basal dose at the time of sowing. (Recommended dose of fertilizers was 25-50-25 kg N- P2O5 - K2O kg ha-1). The influence of various treatments on soil properties (physical, physicochemical and chemical properties), nutrient contents and uptake, growth parameters, and yield of blackgram were determined by following standard procedures. The soil properties viz., bulk density, water holding capacity, pH, EC, cation exchange capacity, per cent base saturation and contents of copper and manganese were not significantly influenced by the imposed treatments. There was a significant influence of the treatments on available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and contents of iron and zinc. The soil available nutrient content was markedly influenced by the application of phosphorus along with PSB and FYM at all the crop growth stages. The xiv highest available phosphorus was observed in T5 (RDNK + 75% RDP + PSB + FYM @ 5 t ha-1), whereas, the maximum available nitrogen and potassium was observed in T4 (RDNK + 75% RDP + FYM @ 5 t ha-1). The phosphorus content of blackgram at flowering and at harvest was markedly influenced by the treatment supplied with T5 (RDNK + 75% RDP + PSB + FYM @ 5 t ha-1). The effect of treatments on other nutrients was non-significant.The uptake of available macro and micro nutrients at flowering and at harvest was significantly influenced by the treatment T5 (RDNK + 75% RDP + PSB + FYM @ 5 t ha-1) which was comparable with T8 (RDNK + 50 % RDP + PSB + FYM @ 5 t ha-1). The performance of blackgram in terms of grain and haulm yield was significantly influenced by the imposed treatments. The treatment supplied with RDNK + 75% RDP + PSB + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 (T5) recorded maximum grain and haulm yield and it was followed by treatment supplied with RDNK + 50% RDP + PSB + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 (T8). From the present study, it can be concluded that under sandy clay loam soils of Bapatla, application of RDNK + 75% RDP + PSB + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 was proved to be highly beneficial in improving soil properties and comparable grain and haulm yields of blackgram.
