Year of Establishment : The fruit research station was started from 1961  under third five year plan and  today, runs as project for Research in Fruit Crops.

Introduction:

The fruit research station, J.A.U. Mangrol is situated near seashore i.e. on coastal highway of Porbandar – Veraval. 62 k.m. away from Junagadh. Nearest railway station is  Keshod, away  25 k.m.

(A)
Farm Land :

(B) Farm Machinery :

1.  To evolve high yielding variety of coconut.

2.  To determine most suitable and effective agronomical practices of the coconut and sapota production.

3.  To introduce new fruit crops for this region.

4.  To supply the true to type of grafts/plants of different fruit crop /hybrid coconut seeding for the farmers.

1.  Feasibility of organic farming in coconut under saline water irrigation condition.

2.  Response of mulching under different irrigation regimes on coconut.

3.  Effect of pre-sowing treatment on seedling growth of coconut (TxD hybrid).

4.  Feasibility of organic manures in Chicku under saline water irrigation condition.

1. Variety :

2. Agronomy  :

1.  The farmers of   Saurashtra  agro climatic zone region who interested in cultivation of  gaillardia flower crop  are advised to apply  @ 50 % RDF of N:P₂O₅ :K₂O as a 25:25:25 kg/ha + 500 kg/ha   castor cake or neem cake    under saline irrigation condition  ( Ec 10-14  dSm^-1 )  for obtaining higher yield and net return.(2018-19).

2.  The farmers of South Saurashtra region who interested organic cultivation of sapota are advised to apply FYM @ 90 kg / tree per year   under saline irrigation condition  ( Ec 10-14  dSm^-1 )  for obtaining higher yield and net return and for improve  soil fertility and microbial status of soil. (2017-18).

3.  The farmers of South Saurashtra Agro-climatic Zone who  interest  organic cultivation of coconut West Coast Tall(WCT) are advise to apply FYM @ 60 kg per tree  under saline irrigation condition for obtaining higher return and maintaining soil fertility.

4.  Sapota growers of South Saurashtra region are advised to apply 40 kg. Gypsum / FYM at alternate year in Sapota with flood irrigation.  Those farmer who follows drip irrigation system (0.6 PEF), not need gypsum apply for higher yield in sapota (2002 - 2003).

5.  Coconut growers of South Saurashtra region are advised to apply 40 kg. wheat straw as a mulch in coconut orchard of Dwarf Orange variety  for higher yield and return having basin size 4×4 sq. miter or in 2.50 miter radius circumferences (1999 - 2000).

6.  Coconut growers of  South Saurashtra region are advised to apply 2 kg N, 1 kg P and 2 kg K in two split (June-October) in coconut hybrid  Cv. D x T in level of 14 EC irrigation water condition for high nut yield.

7.  Coconut growers of Saurashtra region are advised to apply irrigation 20 days interval during   winter and summer 25 days interval to the coconut orchard of Dwarf Green variety for higher yield and return having basin size 4 x 4 sq. mt. or in 2.50 mt. radius circumferences. (1995-96). 

Seed Production of the year 2021 – 22

The Technology developed at this research station is being discriminated to the various extension agencies,

N.G.O’s farmers and students in the following ways.

1.  Participating in the ‘Krushi Mela’, farmers days and Agril. Exhibition organized by University or other agencies.

2.  Educating students during Kendra Nivas and to farmers during visit of this station.

To develop a new hybrid variety of coconut and sapota for salt and drought tolerant
