Agricultural University is concentrating their focus on the research on niche
areas and niche crops of North and North-West Agro-climatic Zones
comprising seven districts viz., Banaskantha, Sabarkantha, Aravalli, Patan,
Gandhinagar, Mehsana and Kachchh. The location specic problems in these
areas are addressed through systematic and planned research. There are
strong linkages with ofcials of State Department of Agriculture,
Horticulture, Animal Husbandry, NGOs and farmers through on-station
and on-farm R & D efforts. This has resulted in enhancing the productivity
and protability of niche crops through reducing cost of cultivation, crop
diversication, cropping systems and on-farm research. The research
accomplishments in different spheres are compiled and presented in this
document. The research highlights are published by the university every
year and “Research Accomplishments and Recommendations 2018” is
one such publication.
I congratulate conveners of different sub-committees of Agricultural
Research Council of Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University
and Scientists for their efforts in bringing out this publication. I am sure that
this publication will be highly useful for those connected with research and

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY
I. CROP IMPROVEMENT, PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY
II. CROP PRODUCTION
1. Potato Recommendation : Potato seed multiplication through micro propagation
1. Yield maximization in pigeonpea
2. Effect of weed management practices on ajwain and their residual effect on green gram
The potato tissue culture plantlets of Kufri Chipsona-3 and Kufri khyati
recorded higher number of tubers i.e., 15.18 and 15.38 per plant,
respectively. Plantation of tissue cultured tubers produced considerable
high tuber yield 30307 kg/ha (Kufri Chipsona-3) and 30516 kg/ha (Kufri
khyati). Therefore, it is recommended to scientic community and seed
producers to use rst generation tubers produced through tissue culture
plantlets for multiplication of basic seed of potato.
Following package is found effective for obtaining maximum yield of
pigeonpea
Aapplication of pendimethalin @1.0 kg/ha as pre emergence was found
effective for weed control in ajwain.

V. AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING, DAIRY AND FOOD TECHNOLOGY
1. Development of Passive Scrubber for Removal of CO2 from biogas
2. Enhancing RWUE of castor with use of hydrogel under dry land condition
Passive water scrubbing method for biogas purication by using fresh water
improves about 19 per cent methane output and reduces similar percentage
of carbon dioxide. The system takes about 42 minutes for purication of 1
m3 biogas. Approximately 440 litres of water is required to obtain 1 m3 of
puried biogas. pH of scrubbed water found to be decreased by about 11
percentage.
The application of hydrogel for moisture conservation was not found
effective due to poor water releasing capacity in North Gujarat Agro
Climatic Zone (AES I) under rain fed condition for castor crop.

Scoring Technique: : For application of the scale, the researcher can collect
information against each 12 statements in ve point continuum viz.,
'Strongly agree', 'Agree', 'Undecided', 'Disagree' and 'Strongly disagree'
with weighted score of 5,4,3,2 and 1 for positive and reverse to negative
statements.
The percent share of farm credit in the tribal dominant districts (Dangs,
Valsad, Tapi and Dahod) is very meagre, i.e., only 3.14 per cent of the total
farm credit supply of the state. Therefore, policy makers should give more
focus on the nancial inclusion of the tribal dominant districts especially in
agriculture sector, so that farm production can be increased.
Comparative evaluation and efcacy of the commonly used acaricides
against ectoparasites infestation in cattle
Clinical and blood prole studies on Mehsana buffaloes affected with
dystocia
The per cent share of term credit in the overall farm credit supply is 24 per
cent whereas, the short term credit contributes to 76 per cent of farm credit
supply. For enabling the farmers in adopting capital intensive
technological innovations, policy makers should give more emphasis on
increasing the term credit disbursal.
Cypermethrin (10% w/v @ 1 ml / lit) spray and Flumethrin (1% w/v @ 1
ml / 10kg body weight) pour-on is at par for effective ectoparasite control
in cattle upto 17 and 32 days, respectively.”
Uterine adhesions are related to duration and degree of uterine torsion in
dystocia affected buffaloes, as evidenced by adhesion free uterus in
torsions of shorter duration (≤ 48 hours) with lesser degree of twist (≤180).

Clinical and blood prole studies on Mehsana buffaloes affected with
dystocia
Comparative evaluation of modied and standard surgical technique for
amputation of horn in Mehsana buffaloes
Alterations in haematological (Total leucocyte count, Differential leucocyte
count and platelets), enzymatic (Aspartate amino transferase) and cortisol
hormonal proles can be used as diagnostic indicator for dystocia
associated clinico-obstetrical attributes (Type & duration of dystocia,
condition of fetus and uterine adhesion) in dams.
In Mehsani buffaloes, during horn amputation by ap method, surgical
incision one cm above frontal crest is suggested to reduce operation time
and blood loss.
