Agriculture University, Jodhpur

Agriculture University, Jodhpur was established on 14th September, 2013 by Government of Rajasthan under Agriculture University, Jodhpur Act 21 of 2013 to focus on holistic development of arid and semi-arid regions of the state covering 6 districts (Jodhpur, Barmer, Nagaur, Pali, Jalore and Sirohi), constituting 28% of total geographical area which is sustaining 20.8% human and 28.4% animal population of the state. The districts under jurisdiction of the university cover 3 agro-ecological zones of the state. These are Arid Western Plain Zone Ia (Jodhpur and Barmer districts), Transitional plain of Luni Basin Zone IIb (Jalore, Pali, and Sirohi districts) and part of Transitional Plain of Inland Drainage Zone IIa (Nagaur district). The university has 1 institute of diploma and 3 colleges to produce highly competent educated human resources in agriculture and allied sciences besides 2 agricultural research stations, one each in zone Ia & IIb and 3 agricultural research sub stations, one in each zone to prepare, plan and perform highly need based research in this acute water scarce but naturally rich bio-diversified zone of the country. The third most important part in tri-pillar (Teaching, Research & Extension) of agricultural development, the extension for transfer of technologies are reached to doorsteps of the farming community by 6 Krishi Vigyan Kendras (K-V-Ks), 2 in Nagaur district and 1 each in Jodhpur, Barmer, Jalore & Sirohi districts under the umbrella of the university. The different units of teaching, research and extension are coordinating to systematically run by the headquarter situated at Mandor, Jodhpur.

    Effect of Nano Urea Fertilization on Growth, Yield and Quality of Nagauri Methi (Trigonella corniculata L.)
    (Agriculture University, Jodhpur, 2023-09-13) Kalpana; Choudhary, Santosh
    A field experiment entitled “Effect or nano urea fertilization on growth yield and quality of Nagauri methi (Trigonella corniculata L.)” was carried out during Rabi season of 2022-23 at the College of Agriculture, Jodhpur. The experiment consisted 12 treatments viz., control, 2 ml/l nano urea, 4 ml/l nano urea, 50% RDN, 50% RDN + 2 ml/l nano urea, 50% RDN + 4 ml/l nano urea, 75% RDN, 75% RDN + 2 ml/l nano urea, 75% RDN+ 4 ml/l nano urea, 100% RDN,100% RDN + 2 ml/l nano urea and 100% RDN + 4 ml/l nano urea, and was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The results of the study clearly indicate that application of 100% RDN + 4 ml/l nano urea recorded the highest plant height, number of branches per plant, internodal length, total number of cuttings and minimum number of days taken for first cutting and shortest average cutting interval over the control. The treatment 75% RDN + 4 ml/l nano urea remained at par with 100% RDN + 4 ml/l nano urea. Quality parameter of Nagauri methi like iron content of leaves, chlorophyll content, protein contents of leaves and seed were significantly higher with application of 100% RDN + 4 ml/l nano urea over the control and statistically at par with 75% RDN + 4 ml/l nano urea. The lowest values of these parameters were recorded with control treatment. The maximum fresh and dry herb yields and seed yield were recorded markedly higher with application of 100% RDN + 4 ml/l nano urea, being statistically at par with 75% RDN + 4 ml/l nano urea. The lowest values of these parameters were recorded with control treatment. Significantly higher net returns (₹ 322565/ha) and B:C ratio (3.05) were obtained with application of 75% RDN + 4 ml/l nano urea over the control followed by 100% RDN + 4 ml/l nano urea net returns (₹ 322540/ha) and B:C ratio (3.04). Hence, 75% RDN + 4 ml/l nano urea application can be beneficial for producing higher productivity and net returns of Nagauri methi in western Rajasthan.
