Vegetable Research Station
Junagadh Agricultural 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:
- Collection, evaluation and maintenance of germplasm lines of different vegetable crops.
- Breeding for high yield, early maturity, disease and pest resistant varieties/hybrids with better quality of various vegetable crops.
- Development of high yielding varieties of onion and garlic with suitable traits for dehydration and export purpose.
- Development of improved production and protection technologies in important vegetable crops.
- Production of nucleus and breeder seeds of improved varieties and parental lines for hybrids of different vegetable crops.
- Providing pure and quality seeds of improved varietiesto the farmers in time and at reasonable price.

2. Tomato nursery should covered with 40 - 60 mesh white nylon net until transplanting and at the time of transplanting tomato seedling should be dip with 0.1 % (Carbendazim 12 % + Mancozeb 63 WP) solution.
3. Maize should be grown as border crop surrounding transplanted tomato field. The foliar sprayings of pesticides should be scheduled as Acephate 75 WP @ 1.5 g / liter 10 days after transplanting, Fipronil 5 SC @ 1.5 ml / liter 20 DAT, copper hydroxide 77 WP @ 2.0 g / liter 25 DAT and Imidacloprid 70 WG @ 2g / 15 liter 40 DAT along with two to three spraying of Fenamidone 10 % + Mancozeb 50 WDG, 0.25 % from 45 DAT at 10 days intervals.
