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.

    STUDIES ON DATES OF SOWING AND NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT IN AJOWAN (Trachyspermum ammi L.) UNDER NORTHERN DRY ZONE OF KARNATAKA
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, DHARWAD, 2003) Bhyresappa, K B; Hanamasetti, S I
    "A field experiment was conducted at Kittiir Raani Channnamma College of Horticultiu^, Anabliavi, during Khaiif 2002 to know the possibility of cultivation of ajowan under Northern Dry Zone of Kamataka, to find oiit tJie suitable sowing time and optimum dose of NPK application on growth, seed and essential oil yield. The two experiments were laid out in Randomized Block Design with 8 treatments to each expeiiment. The date of sowing experiment crop was sown from June second fortnight to Octobei (at foitnight interval) and for nutrient management experiment the different levels of NPK were appHed (50:25:25, 75:37.5:37.5, 100:50:50, 125:62.5:62.5, 150:75:75, 175:8.5:87.5, 200:100:100 kg ha-i) over control (no fertilizer) in three repUcations. The results revealed that ajowan, a new crop to this zone, could be grown successfully. Among the differcnt dates of sowing June second foitnight resulted highest seed (11.53 q ha ^) and essential oil yield (50 1 ha^) followed by October first fortnight sowing (9.38 q ha ' and 43.90 1 h a ' , respectively) since plants were exposed to longer period of growth with sufficient conserved moisture and favourable temperature for growtli and yield attributing traits. But in September fiist and second fortnight sown croj:) resulted low^er seed (4.75 and 5.86 q ha ', respectively) and essential oil yield (17.53 and 23.83 1 ha ', respectively) because plants were exposed to adverse climatic conditions like supra optimal soil moisttire for prolonged period lead to wilting. Among the different levels of NPK applied 125:62.5:62.5 kg ha ^ resulted in better growth, yield attiibuting tiaits, seed (9.07 q ha ') and essential oil yield (39.57 i h a ' ) over control (2.43 q and 8.43 1 h a ', respectively). Above and below tiiis level of fertilizer application resiilted in poor perfoiTnance. Hence, for getting highei B : C ratio (3.90) application of 125:62.5:62.5 NPK kg h a ' was found to be optimum."

    NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT STUDIES IN GINGER [Zingiber officinale Rose) Cv. HUMNABAD
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, DHARWAD, 2003) Pradeepa, L; Hegde, N K
    "Field experiment were conducted on nutrient management studies in ginger {Zingiber officinale Rose) Cv. Humnabad at K.R.C.College of Horticulture, Arabhavi on medium deep black soil during the year 2002- 2003. Experiments on effect of vcrmicompost and micronutricnts (Fc and Zn) were laid out in RBD with three replications. In the field trial on vcrmicompost and organic manures, application of 100 : 50 : 50 NPK kg/ha (RDF) + vcrmicompost 2.5 t / h a has resulted in vigorous vegetative growth with higher plant heigh 1 (49.70 cm), number of tillers (16.76) at 180 days after planting, leaf area (31.47 cm^) and leaf area index (7.48) at 150 days after planting. Application of RDF + vcrmicompost 2.5 t per ha produced significantly higher fresh rhizome yield (19.09 t/ha), cured rhizome yield (4.79 t/ha), essential oil (1.94%), oleoresin (9.82%), crude fibre (5.0%) and uptake of N, P and K (104.10 kg/ha, 25.28 kg/ha and 248.02 kg/ha, respectively). Among the eight treatments, application of RDF + vcrmicompost (@ 2.5 t/ha) has recorded high C:B ratio (1 : 4.65), whereas lowest C:B ratio was obtained in control (1 : 3.1). In the experiment consisting of Fe and Zn micronutricnts (both chelated and unchclatcd) the application of RDF + chelated FeS04 + ZnS04 each at 20 kg per ha resulted in higher plant height (41.33 cm) and number of leaves (234.89/plant) at 180 days after planting. Fresh rhizome yield (22.10 t/ha), curing percentage (29.3%), cured rhizome yield (5.60 t/ha) were higher in the treatment supplied with RDF + 20 kg FeS04 + 20 kg ZnS04 per hectare. With respect to micronutricnts, application of RDF + 20 kg FeS04 + 20 kg ZnS04 per ha has recorded higher C:B ratio (1 : 5.0) whereas control recorded lower C:B ratio ( 1 : 3.10)."

    EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT GENOTYPES OF TURMERIC AND RESPONSE OF TURMERIC CV. SALEM TO ORGANICS AND INORGANIC FERTILISERS
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, DHARWAD, 2004) Anusuya, N S; Hanamashetti, S I
    "Field trials were laid out as randomized block design with three replications on evaluation of different genotypes of turmeric and response of turmeric cv. Salem to organics and inorganic fertilizers, at Agricultural Research Station, Arabhavi during 2003-04. Among different genotypes evaluated, Salem recorded higher plant height (66.06 cm), number of leaves (13.33) at 150 days after planting. Maximum fresh rhizome and cured rhizome was recorded in Mango ginger (49.95 t / h a and 7.98 t/ha, respectively) followed by Salem recorded 6.70 tonnes per hectare cured rhizomes. With respect to quality in terms of curcumin content, Suroma (PTS-24), Suvarna (PCT-8) and Suguna (PCT- 13) were superior (9.23%, 8.68%, 8.40%, respectively). The genotypes mango ginger, PCT-8, PCT-13, Prabha, Pratibha and Alleppey were found to be short duration types, maximum percentage of foliar disease intensity was recorded in all the PCT series viz., PCT-8, PCT-13 and PCT-14. There was significant variation in turmeric cv. Salem to organics and inorganic fertilizers for growth, yield and quality attributes. Application of RDF (180:90:90 NPK kg/ha) + FYM (25 t/ha) recorded maximum plant height (67.20 cm), number of leaves (15.55/plant), number of tillers (3.43/plant), maximum dry matter accumulation (7.19 t/ha), higher fresh rhizome yield (34.98 t/ha), maximum curing percentage (20.33) and higher cured yield (7.11 t/ha). Higher curcumin content was recorded by application of RDF + FeS04 (10 kg/ha) and RDF+ZnS04 (10 kg/ha) (4.60% and 4.40%, respectively). Higher cost benefit ratio was recorded in RDF + FYM (25 t/ha) 1:3.03) followed by sheep manure (5 t/ha) (1:2.86), vermicompost (2.5 t/ha) (1:2.80). Whereas lower benefit cost ratio (1:2.27) was recorded in FYM (25 t/ha)."
