University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad

The University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad was established on October 1, 1986. The University has 5 Colleges, 27 Research Stations, 6 Agriculture Extension Education Centers, 6 Krishi Vigyan Kendras and ATIC. The University has its jurisdiction over 7 districts namely Bagalkot, Belgaum, Bijapur, Dharwad, Gadag, Haveri, and Uttar Kannada in northern Karnataka. Greater diversity exists in soil types, climate, topography cropping and farming situations. The jurisdiction includes dry-farming to heavy rainfall and irrigated area. Important crops of the region include sorghum, cotton, rice, pulses, chilli, sugarcane, groundnut, sunflower, wheat, safflower etc. The region is also known for many horticultural crops. Considerable progress has been registered in the field of education, research and extension from this University.

    PHYSIOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS IN TURMERIC [Curcuma longa L.]
    (University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 2001) Jirali, Dileep I; Hiremath, S M
    Field experiments were conducted at Main Research Statidfl, yjiiversUy' of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during Khar if seasons of 1998 and lM9'foStudy the physiological basis of yield variation in turmeric genotypes (Amalapuram, Co-1, Bidar-4, BSR-1, Rajapuri and Cuddapah and also to find out the effect of different micronutrients (FeSO @ 0.25 and 0.50%, ZnSO, @ 0.25 and 0.50% and MnSO @ 0.20 and 0.40%, with two genotypes, Bidar-4 and Bidar-1) and growth regulators (CCC @ 500 and 1000 ppm, cytozyme @ 1000 and 2000 ppm and miraculan @ 1000 and 2000 ppm with two genotypes, Amalapuram and Rajapuri) on productivity potential and quality in turmeric genotypes. The high yielding genotypes possessed significantly higher values for number of leaves, LAI, CGR, NAR, LAD, BMD, SLW, TDM, Reproductive dry matter and photosynthetic rate. The important yield components viz., number of primary fingers per plant, length of secondaiy finger, circumference of primary finger and harvest index were significantly higher in high yielding genotypes. Among the genotypes, Amalapuram, Bidar-4 and Cuddapah were found physiologically efficient and possessed significantly higher values for all physiological traits. Foliar application of FeSO^ @ 0.50% (at 60 and 120 DAS) was very effective followed by MnSO^ @ 0.40% and ZnSO @ 0.50% and these treatments significantly improved yield and yield components and quality attributes due to higher values for morpho-physiological traits, growth parameters, biophysical and biochemical parameters. However, the benefitxost ratio was highest with FeSO @ 0.50%. Foliar application of CCC @ 1000 ppm (at 60 and 120 DAS) was very effective followed by cytozyme @ 2000 ppm and miraculan @ 2000 ppm and these treatments significantly improved yield and yield components and quality attributes due to higher values for morpho-physiological traits, growth parameters, biophysical and biochemical parameters. However, the benelltxost ratio was highest with cytozyme @ 2000 ppm.
