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.

    ORGANIC PRODUCTION OF SUMMER GREENGRAM [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]
    (Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University, 2017) BHARGAVI, K; SUMATHI, V
    A field experiment entitled “Organic Production of Summer Greengram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]” was carried out during summer, 2017 on sandy loam soils of dryland farm of S.V. Agricultural College, Tirupati, Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The main plot consisted of four treatments of organic manures viz., Control (M1), Farm yard manure (M2), Vermicompost (M3) and Poultry manure (M4) and sub plots consisted three treatments of organic sprays viz., Control (S1), Panchagavya (S2) and Jeevamrutha (S3).Various organic manures and organic sprays significantly influenced the growth parameters, yield attributes, yield, quality parameters, economic returns and nutrient uptake of greengram as well as the postharvest soil fertility status and microbial load. Among the organic manures tried, incorporation of the poultry manure recorded the tallest plants, maximum LAI and higher dry matter production of greengram at all the crop growth stages and lower values of parameters at all stages were observed in plots which were not incorporated with any of the manure. Among the organic sprays tested, panchagavya spray resulted in the higher stature of plant growth parameters viz., plant height, LAI and dry matter production of greengram and lower values of plant growth parameters were recorded in plots which have not received any organic spray. Interaction effect, wherever it was significant (dry matter production at 40 and 60 DAS), the combination of poultry manure incorporation with panchagavya spray (M4S2) has resulted in the taller plants. All the yield attributes of greengram viz., number of pods plant-1 , length of the pod, number of seeds pod-1 and test weight, were found to be the higher with poultry manure incorporation and all the yield attributes were found to be at their lower in the plots which have not incorporated with any of the organic manure. Panchagavya application has resulted in the higher stature of all the yield attributes of greengram and were at their lower in plots which have not received any organic spray. Interaction was found only in respect of number of pods plant-1 among yield attributes of greengram. The higher number of pods plant-1 were obtained with the combination of poultry manure incorporation with panchagavya spray (M4S2), while the lower number of pods plant-1 were obtained in plots with non application of organic manure and organic spray (M1S1). Among the organic manures tried, incorporation of the poultry manure resulted in the higher seed yield and haulm yield. The lower seed yield and haulm yield were produced in plots which have not received any of the organic manure. Among the organic sprays tried, panchagavya spray resulted in the higher seed yield and haulm yield. The lower seed yield and haulm yield was recorded in control plots i.e. without any organic spray. Interaction effect of different organic manures and organic sprays was found to be non significant in influencing the seed yield and haulm yield. Quality parameters viz., protein and aminoacid content of greengram seed was not influenced significantly by different organic manures and organic sprays. The higher uptake of N, P and K was registered with the incorporation of poultry manure, while the uptake of all the three major nutrients was lower in control. Among the organic sprays, higher uptake of N, P and K by the crop was obtained with panchagavya spray tested, while uptake of nutrients was lower in control plots which have not received any organic spray. The higher values of nitrogen uptake was obtained with the combination of poultry manure incorporation with panchagavya spray (M4S2), while they were found lower in the plots without incorporation of organic manure, without any organic spray (M1S1). Organic manures and organic sprays failed to exert any significant influence on pH and EC of soil after harvest of crop. The higher post harvest nutrient status of soil available N, P2O5 and K2O was recorded with poultry manure incorporation which wassuperior to rest of the treatments, while it was found to be the lower with the plots of non manurial incorporation. As regards the organic sprays, panchagavya spray resulted in higher post harvest nutrient status of soil, while control plots without any organic spray leads to poor post harvest nutrient status of the soil. The interaction effect of different organic manures and organic sprays was found to be non significant. The higher post harvest microbial status (bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes) was recorded with poultry manure incorporation which was superior to the rest of the treatments, while it was found to be the lower in plots without any manurial incorporation. As regards the organic sprays, panchagavya spray resulted in higher post harvest microbial status of soil, while control plot without any organic spray leads to lower microbial status of the soil. The higher values of those parameter was obtained with the combination of poultry manure incorporation with panchagavya spray (M4S2), while they were found at their lower with the non application of organic manure and organic spray (M1S1). The higher gross returns, net returns and B C ratio was recorded with poultry manure incorporation which was superior to rest of the treatments, while it was found to be the lower in plots which have not received any of the organic manure. As regards the organic sprays tested, panchagavya spray resulted in higher gross returns, net returns and B C ratio, while control plot without any organic spray leads to lower economic returns. The interaction effect of different organic manures and organic sprays was found to be non significant. In conclusion, the investigation revealed that it may be concluded that incorporation of poultry manure with panchagavya spray resulted in the maximum grain yield of greengram and monetary returns. Among the various organic manures tried, poultry manure incorporation and among organic sprays tested, panchagavya spray proved to be promising organic manurial practices for higher yield and economics of summer greengram. However, the economic returns under organic approach could be enhanced with premium price for the organic produce in the market after certification
