Main Oilseeds Research Station
Junagadh Agricultural University
Junagadh- 362 001 (Gujarat)
(Year of Establishment : 1956)
Introduction :
The Main Oilseeds Research Station was established at Junagadh during the year 1956 in the state with the objectives to breed and develop high yielding, disease and pest resistant and better quality varieties of different oilseed crops like groundnut, castor, sesame, sunflower, soybean and mustard. Currently, the centre is actively engaged in groundnut and castor research works in the main areas like,
- Plant Breeding& Genetics - Crop improvement
- Agronomy- Crop production
- Plant Protection : (a) Agril. Entomology, (b) Plant Pathology
- Plant Physiology
In addition to these, the station is also working as a testing center for Mustard, Sunflower and Sesame crops. The center also contributes the groundnut varieties and castor varieties / hybrids for National level research programme and it is one of the centre for the All India Coordinated Research Projects on Groundnut, Castor, National Seed Project, RKVY Seed Project and aflatoxin project.
Mandates of research :
- To develop early maturing groundnut varieties with high yield potential, better quality and high oil content.
- To develop disease, pest, drought and aflatoxin resistant groundnut varieties with good export potential.
- To evolve production technologies for newly developed and improved varieties.
- To provide breeder seed of groundnut varieties to the agencies of Gujarat and India.
- To disseminate information generated through research to farmers through front line demonstrations.
- To develop varieties and hybrids of castor crop with high yield potential and early varieties and hybrids , better quality and disease and pest resistance.
- To solve problems regarding groundnut production through radio, TV programmes, popular articles, hand outs, personal discussion, night discussion and by organizing farmers' day and week end training programmes etc.
Objectives :
- To evolve varieties of groundnut crop with high yield potential, better quality, with fresh seed dormancy (in Spanish bunch group) and drought, disease and pest resistance.
- To develop agro technology and plant protection measures for newly released groundnut and castor variety.
- To develop varieties and hybrids of castor crop with high yield potential, early maturity better quality and disease and pest resistance.
- To develop male and female line of castor crop with high yield potential, early maturity, better quality and disease and pest resistance.
- To produce breeder seeds of groundnut varieties as per state and national indents.
- To assess agronomic practices and plant protection measures for castor varieties / hybrids.
- Preparation of database of aflatoxin in groundnut for Saurashtra region.
- Farmers participatory research through on farm front line demostrations of groundnut and castor.

D. Soyabean: Varietal evaluation under state and national programme
E. Mustard: Varietal evaluation under state and national programme
II. Agronomy:
- Water, nutrient and weed management in groundnut and castor
- Intercropping studies on groundnut and castor
- Survey of agronomic practices in the area of summer and kharif groundnut cultivation
- Intercropping system of groundnut with castor, pearl millet, cotton and pigeon pea.
- Agronomic practices for AVT (bunch, semi spreading, spreading) entries and new trials as per AICRP technical programme
III Entomology:
- Screening of groundnut entries / lines from PET, SSVT, LSVT, IVT and AVT for resistance to insect-pests in kharif and summer groundnut, Sesame, castor and mustard
- Monitoring of Spodoptera litura using pheromone trap, pest incidence in kharif groundnut.
- Testing the bio-efficacy of certain insecticides in Groundnut and Castor
IV. Pathology:
- Survey and Monitoring of various diseases of oilseed crops to find out the intensity and disease situation in Saurashtra region of Gujarat.
- Screening of Promising genotypes of oilseed crops against major diseases.
- Integrated and ecofriendly management of major diseases of groundnut and castor.
- Screening of castor trial entries for root rot resistance in sick plot.
V. Plant Physiology:
- Physiological parameters studies on different groundnut entries in early maturity, greater partitioning of dry matter to pods during pod filling phase, presence of short term dormancy (7-15 days) in SB groundnut and drought tolerance.

It is recommended that two spraying of carbendazim 0.025 per cent or mancozeb 0.20 per cent should be carried out i.e. first at the time of appearance of disease and second after 15 days interval of first spray to control the leaf spot in sesamum.

Two spray of Carbendazim 0.025 per cent or Thiophanate methyl 0.05 per cent at 15 days interval starting first spray at 35 to 40 days after crop seeding are recommended for effective management of leaf spot disease of sunflower caused by Alternaria helianthi in Saurashtra region.

|
For effective and economic management of leaf spot of sunflower caused by Alternaria helianthi, three spray of carbendazim 0.025% (5 gm/10 lit of water) is recommended. The first spray should be carried out at the appearance of disease followed by 2nd and 3rd spray at 15 days interval. This recommendation made for North Saurashtra Agroclimatic zone.

Three spraying of tridemefon 0.02 per cent are recommended for effective and economic control of powdery mildew of mustard in Junagadh area. The first spray should be at the time of disease appearance, second and third sprays should be at 15 days interval of previous spray. For marginal farmers wetteble sulpher 0.20 per cent must be used. This is over and above the earlier recommendation of three spraying of dinocap 0.025 per cent.

For effective management of powdery mildew of mustard farmers of South Saurashtra are advised to spray 2 per cent fresh neem leaf extract or 0.2 per cent wetteble sulpher , first spray at appearance of disease and second and third at 15 days interval.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY
|
1
|
It is recommended to the scientific community that the genotypes DRT-2004-7 and J-53 possessed drought tolerance under unirrigated condition. Both genotypes recorded higher pod, haulm and biological yield. Harvest index and partitioning to pod were also highest along with high LAI and number of nodules at 70 DAS, thereby having better assimilation of photosynthates towards sink under rainfed condition. These genotypes may be used as parents in breeding programme for development of drought tolerant varieties.

The farmers of South Saurashtra Agro climatic zone growing kharif groundnut are advised to go for foliar application of chlormequat chloride 50% SL @ 1000 ppm (2.0 ml/lit) at 50 DAS to suppress the excess vegetative growth and to get higher pod yield and net return.

The farmers of South Saurashtra Agro climatic zone growing kharif groundnut are advised to go for foliar application of Cycocel (50% SL) @ 1000 ppm (2.0 ml/lit) at 30 DAS or foliar application of Paclobutrazol (23% w/w SC) @ 500 ppm (2.5 ml/lit) at 60 DAS to suppress the excess vegetative growth and to get higher pod yield and net.

The farmers of South Saurashtra Agro-climatic Zone growing kharif groundnut are advised to go for foliar application of Zinc sulfate 0.5% (2.5 kg ha-1 in 500 liter water) at 35 and 70 DAS for proper vegetative growth and to get higher pod yield and net return.

EXTENSION ACTIVITIES
FLD (Frontline Demonstrations):
|
The government of India, while realizing the import dependency of the edible oils, established the technology mission on Oilseeds (TMO) in 1986 which adopted four pronged strategy for reaping production, processing and storage technologies for attaining self reliance in oilseeds. The series of farmer oriented policies through TMO made an impact on the vegetable oil production of the country to shift from a stagnation stage to swift growth stage. The Adhoc Project on “Frontline demonstrations in oilseed Crops” sponsored by Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, Government of India was launched from Kharif, 1990-91. The above scheme amply provided opportunities to the researchers of the All India Coordinated Research Project on Oilseeds (AICORPO) actively in generation of location specific technologies for (1) demonstrating to farmers what they were advocating, (2) test their effect and viability, (3) obtain feed from the clients and (4) fine-tune the technologies to improve their acceptability and suitability to real farm situation.
