Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University, Guntur (AP)

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.

    INFLUENCE OF ORGANIC ACIDS IN AMELIORATION OF IRON (Fe) CHLOROSIS IN GROUNDNUT (Arachis hypogaea L.)
    (Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University, 2016) JAGGA RAO, ITRAJULA; RAVINDRA BABU, P
    A potculture experiment was conducted in Agricultural College, Bapatla, Andhra Pradesh to study the‘Influence of organic acids in amelioration of iron (Fe) chlorosis in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)" during kharif season of 2015- 16. The experimental soil was calcareous (collected from Vertisol profile), alkaline in reaction, low in organic carbon, available nitrogen, medium in available phosphorus and high in available potassium. All the micronutrients except iron were sufficient in the soil with values above their critical limits. The treatments comprised of control (T1); FeSO4.7H2O @ 0.25% (T2); citric acid @ 0.25% (T3); acetic acid @ 0.25% (T4); oxalic acid @ 0.125% (T5); ascorbic acid @ 0.25% (T6); hydroxyl amine hydrochloride (T7) were replicated thrice in completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. Foliar application of organic acids were applied to the respective pots immediately after noticing the iron chlorosis, peg penetration and pod formation stage of the crop growth. Entire phosphorus was applied as basal dose in the form of single super phosphate, nitrogen and potassium were applied in 3 and 2 splits, respectively in the form of urea and muriate of potash as per the recommended dose of fertilizer. The influence of various treatments on iron chlorosis, soil properties and growth and yield of groundnut were determined by standard procedures at different growth stages. Among the treatments imposed organic acids treated pots resulted in significantly lower pH at different stages of the crop growth. The treatments imposed had no significant effect on EC, soil organic carbon and CEC, but slight increment was noticed in organic acids treated pots over control. Foliar application of organic acids showed non significant difference in N, P, K and significantly increased the S and Fe contents in soil. Availability of N, K nutrients was maximum in treatments treated with ascorbic acid @ 0.25%, P was higher in treatments received oxalic acid @ 0.125% and S, Fe contents in soil were higher in treatment supplied with FeSO4.7H2O @ 0.25% were found significantly superior to rest of the treatments. Foliar application of organic acids showed not significant influence on the soil enzyme activity. urease, acid, alkaline phosphatase and dehydrogenase activities were higher in organic acids received treatments than that of control. Foliar application of organic acids favoured the growth, yield and its attributes, was recorded highest in treatment that received with FeSO4.7H2O @ 0.25% besides increase in the content of N and K in plant was observed in treatment supplied with ascorbic acid @ 0.25%, but highest P content was observed in oxalic acid @ 0.125% treated pots. The results further showed that S, Fe, and chlorophyll ‘a’ & ‘b’ contents was higher in the treatment that received FeSO4.7H2O @ 0.25% and significantly superior to rest of the treatments. Uptake of N, P, K, S and Fe was found to be higher in FeSO4.7H2O @ 0.25% (T2) imposed treatment, which was at par and followed by treatment supplied with citric acid @ 0.25% (T3), significantly superior to control.
