a) Research activities

  • The academic staff members of this department are engaged with PG and Ph.D. research programme (Agril. Engg.) and are acting as major research guide for guiding the related Agril. Engg Subjects.
  • The research trials were conducted on topics like Deficit irrigation, effect of plastic mulching on soil moisture and yield of vegetables like Onion, Tomato &Bringels, effectiveness of poly film lining material to farm pond, utilization of inter space between CCT’s by different land use systems.

Short term research experiments are being under taken on Micro Irrigation

b) Technology Released / Recommendations

The staff of this department has given recommendations on micro irrigation and deficit irrigation. These recommendations have been already accepted by the state agriculture department. Research is an integral component of education system. Considering the need of Marathwada region and priorities, thrust areasare decided. Accordingly the research work is carried out at Department of Agricultural Engineering, simultaneously with teaching work load.
