6. Facilities of the Farm/Lab:
There are total 6 (six) laboratories for U. G. and P.G. teaching and departmental research works. Theses laboratories are used for the physico-chemical analysis of soil, plant and water samples collected from departmental research experiments and from P. G. experiments of different faculties like Ag. Chem. & Soil Science, Agronomy, Plant Breeding, Horticulture etc.
7.Major activities of the Department:
- U. G. and P. G. teaching
- Departmental research works
- Chemical analysis of soil and water samples brought by the farmers on charge basis.
8.Major achievements of the department:
- Successful completion of M. Sc. (Agri.) students = 24
- Ph. D. students = 9
- No. of bulletin published English = 2
- Gujarati = 2
- Practical manuals prepared for U. G. Students at University level = 1
- Theory notes prepared for U. G. Teaching at University level = 2
9.Research recommendations for farmers: NIL
10.Future plans/thrust areas:
- To develop additional facilities major focusing on training the students for self-employment
- Establishment of quality lab for soil, water and plant analysis
11.Research Schemes / Ongoing projects:
- Departmental research works on permanent plot experiment (PPE) for cowpea-mustard-pearl millet cropping sequence.
- Establishment of Organic Farming Research cell at S. K. Nagar (In collaboration with Agronomy department)
- Scheme on poor quality ground water of North and North West Agro climatic zone.
