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.

    CARBON SEQUESTRATION OF TEN YEAR OLD DIFFERENT TREE SPECIES PLANTED IN SHELTER BELT OF NORTHERN TRANSITIONAL ZONE OF KARNATAKA
    (University of Agricultural Sciences Dharwad, 2015-07) ARUNKUMAR ASHTAGI B; Dr. H. SHIVANNA
    The study was conducted at the college of Agricultural Hanumanammatti of Haveri District to assess the performance of ten year old shelterbelt trees with respect to girth, height, volume, biomass (above and below ground biomass) and carbon sequestration. Acacia auriculiformis, Azadirachta indica and Dalbergia sissoo were found to be superior over the other species with respect to growth performance. Acacia auriculiformis showed higher biomass production with higher above and below ground biomass of 103.19 ton/ha, 26.83 ton/ha at 120 months after planting respectively. At 132 months after planting (11 year old) above and below ground biomass production increased to 144.68 ton/ha, 37.62 ton/ha respectively; about 65.01 ton/ha and 91.15 ton/ha at 10 and 11 year old trees respectively in Acacia auriculiformis. Among the five tree species considered form factor ranged from 0.51 to 0.55. Highest tapering was observed in Pongamia pinnata followed by Tectona grandis and least was noticed in Acacia auriculiformis. This study suggests that Acacia auriculiformis, Azadirachta indica and Dalbergia sissoo, latter two species are preferred because of other advantages such as nitrogen fixation and traditional use as bio-pesticide.
