I am searching for the contact number of the Tamil Nadu Agricultural Zonal Research Center. Can you please provide me the contact number of the Zonal Research Center of Tamil Nadu Agricultural? Also provide me details about the head of department of the Zonal Research Center?

The Agricultural Research Station, Virinjipuram goes under North Eastern Zone locale of Tamil Nadu. It is situated in Virinjipuram Village of Katpadi Taluk, Vellore District. It is around 15 km far from Vellore transport remain off Chennai – Bangalore high way and 21 km from Katpadi Railway station.

Scope : 12° 5' N

Longitude : 79° E

Add up to Area : 23.58 Hectares

Flooded region : 15.30 Hectares

Rainfed : 08.28 Hectares

Soil sort : Sandy topsoil

Soil pH : 7.8

Normal yearly precipitation : 860mm

Mean Maximum Temperature : 33.1°C

Mean Minimum Temperature : 22.8°C

Meteorology : II Class Observatory

Inception


This station was begun in 1969 by the Department of Agriculture as "Banana Research Station" with the fundamental goal of presentation and assessment of new assortments of banana under flooded conditions other than support of banana germplasm. In 1981 it was exchanged to Tamil Nadu Agricultural University. In 1990 the station was redesigned as " Agricultural Research Station" to direct research in farming harvests moreover.

Destinations

To provide food the necessities of expansion functionaries and cultivating groups of both Vellore and Thiruvannamalai areas.

To deliver raiser seeds in heartbeats, oilseeds and vegetables.

To enhance high yielding neighborhood Thalaivirichan sorghum assortments.

To embrace rearing system for high liquor yielding sorghum assortments.

To choose and assess greengram assortments.

To direct OFT/MLT/FLD in the ranchers possessions.

To concentrate the utilization of tannery profluent as a wellspring of water system for products.

To keep up banana germplasm, assess and present new assortments of banana.

To gather and assess the long size papaya sorts of this tract.

To enhance nearby prickly cultivar of brinjal (Mullukathiri)

To deal with the bud worm issue in jasmine.

To oversee crossandra shrink complex through bio-control specialists.

Well established Soil Science, Entomology as well as Pathology laboratories are available at this station.

Technologies
Plant Breeding and Genetics
• A greengram VRM (Gg) 1, pure line selection was released as a variety in 2000 and it recorded the highest yield of 1020.4 kg/ha.
• Sorghum germplasm lines viz., CSV 15, SPV88, TNS 297, SSVT-SR-350-12-ISV 0413, 192-15-3, 2029-42 and 2026-1-1-1 were selected as high alcohol yielding sweet sorghum lines.
• Of the 105 sorghum cultures evaluated, Poigai local (Thalaivirichan type) was found to be most promising.
• In greengram breeder seed, 3887 kg in K.851 and 256 kg in VRM(Gg)1, besides 401 kg of TFL in VRM (Gg)1 was produced and supplied to State Department of Agriculture and farmers.
• VMS 98001 a sweet sorghum culture was selected for dual purpose i.e., for alcohol and grain production.
Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry
• Maize varieties Co1 and African tall, Co13 ragi and BN2 grass were identified as suitable crops for tannery polluted areas.
• Application of composted coconut coirpith @ 10 tonnes /ha in the tannery polluted area was found to be the best soil amendment.
• Application of tannery effluent to soil resulted in reduction of hydraulic conductivity from 7.48 to 3.35 cm/hour, soil porosity from 41.2. to 31.6% and increased the bulk density from 1.4. to 1.5 g/cc.
• The ground water samples of Pernampet and Ambur belts were found to be contaminated with tannery effluents.
• Electrical conductivity of contaminated ground water samples indicated the toxic EC range of 9 to 10.
• Phytotoxic elements like Sodium and Chloride exceeded the critical limits and recorded 2935 mg/1 and 223 mg/1 respectively.
Crop Physiology
• In rainfed pulses, seed pelleting with ZnSO4 (Black gram) or MnSO4 (greengram) at 100 ppm increased the yield by 18.6% and 15.3% respectively.
• DAP (2%) foliar spray at two stages (peak flowering, pod development) boosted the yields of irrigated greengram (14.7%) and black gram (17.6%).
• Tannery sludge upto 80 t/ha had no phytotoxic effect on paddy, tomato, brinjal, cucumber, groundnut, cowpea, bhendi and lucerne in pot culture experiment.
Agricultural Microbiology
• Water hyacinth was found to absorb the toxic element chromium present in tannery effluent.
• The bacteria Pseudomonas sp. reduced the toxicity of the tannery effluent.
