Vegetable Research Station, Junagadh Agriculture University, Junagadh
Year of Establishment: 1962
Introduction :
The Vegetable Research Station was established at Junagadh under the scheme for Research and Improvement in Vegetable and Fruit crops sanctioned during 1962-63. Other two schemes viz., (1) All India Coordinated Vegetable Improvement Project was sanctioned during April 1998 and (2) Strengthening of Vegetable Research was started from December 1991. At present, the multidisciplinary work is being carried out on major vegetable crops of the region under nine various schemes. The main objective of this center is to develop high yielding and diseases resistance variety and their production and protection technology.
Mandates :
1. Collection, evaluation and maintenance of germplasm lines of different vegetable crops. 2. Breeding for high yield, early maturity, disease and pest resistant varieties/hybrids with better quality of various vegetable crops. 3. Development of high yielding varieties of onion and garlic with suitable traits for dehydration and export purpose. 4. Development of improved production and protection technologies in important vegetable crops. 5. Production of nucleus and breeder seeds of improved varieties and parental lines for hybrids of different vegetable crops. 6. Providing pure and quality seeds of improved varietiesto the farmers in time and at reasonable price.
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES :
I. CROP IMPROVEMENT : A. Vegetable Crops (Garlic, Onion, Okra, Brinjal, Tomato, Bottle gourd, Ridge gourd, Cucurbits, Indian Bean, Cowpea, Cluster Bean etc.) :
1.
Experimental works in State, AICRPVC and AINRPOG trials ofrabi, summer andkharifseasons.
2.
Testing of breeding materials.
3.
Fresh crosses to generate breeding materials.
4.
Germplasm maintenance, evaluation, conservation as well as exchange.
5.
Seed multiplication of promising lines.
6.
Seed production of released varieties/hybrids.
7.
Production of nucleus and breeder seeds of released variety as per the DAC indent received from Government of India and Govt. of Gujarat.
B. Onion and garlic :
1.
To collect, evaluate and maintain new germplasm lines of onion and garlic.
2.
To develop varieties suitable for domestic and export market along with resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses through experimental work in state and AINRPOG trials ofrabiand latekharifseasons.
3.
To enhance and sustain productivity and production of quality seeds as well as bulb crop through agronomic innovations.
4.
To develop integrated pest and disease management for high bulb and seed yield.
C. Spices crops (Coriander, Ajwain and Fenugreek) :
1.
Experimental work in state trials ofrabiseason
2.
Seed/planting materials produced under the scheme may be distributed to SHD or to the progressive farmers for further multiplication
3.
Technology dissemination on farmers field through frontline demonstration on seed spices
II.
CROP PRODUCTION :
1.
Experimentation of trials allotted as per State and AICRP technical programme.
2.
Natural Resource Management in vegetable and spice crops.
3.
Intercropping studies on vegetable and spices.
4.
Intercropping system of vegetable crops with other crops.
III.
CROP PROTECTION :
1.
Experimentation of trials allotted as per State and AICRP technical programme.
2.
Survey and monitoring of various insect-pests and diseases of vegetable crops to find out the intensity and disease situation in Saurashtra region of Gujarat.
3.
Screening of vegetable crops? entries / lines of PET, SSVT, LSVT, IET, AVT-I and AVT-II for resistance to insect-pests and diseases inrabi,kharifand summer seasons.
4.
Integrated and eco-friendly management of major biotic stresses of vegetable crops.
