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.

    Investigations on tritrophic interaction in integrated management of okra pod borer complex
    (UAS, Dharwad, 2008) G.S.Guruprasad; L.KrishnaNaik
    Investigations on tritrophic interaction, screening of okra accessions against pod borers, bio-efficacy of biorationals, evaluation of marigold as trap crop and development of IPM modules for the management of okra pod borer complex were carried out at Agriculture Research Station, Main Agriculture Research Station and Narendra village of Dharwad district during 2004-05 and 2005-06. In tri-trophic relationship, parabhani kranti, Shakti-303, Shagun and Rasi-5 were least preferred hosts for oviposition for all three pests and permitted greatest parasitisim by the egg parasitoid, thereby resulted in least per cent egg hatching. However, on the contrary Mahalaxmi-Amisha, Ankur and L-177 supported highest oviposition and least parasitism by the parasitoid due to their higher trichome density. Irrespective of accessions trichome density was positively correlated with oviposition preference while parasitism was negatively correlated. Among different accessions screened, accessions shakti-303, Shagun and Rasi-5 were recorded lowest pod borer incidence and produced 33.38, 26.41 and 22.95 per cent increase in yield over commercial check Arka Anamika. Among different bio-rationals, NSKE 5%, econeem plus (1000 ppm), Beauveria bassiana + econeem plus (1000 ppm) and B. bassiana @ 2g/l were found to be superior by registering less number of eggs and larvae of Earias vittella (Fab.) and Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) which resulted in lowest per cent pod damage and highest yield of 68.91, 67.78, 67.44 and 60.57 q/ha, respectively and were comparable with the standard check malathion 50 EC (71.17 q/ha). Among different row proportions used, okra + marigold @ 10:2 and 10:1 proved to be effective in reducing the pod damage and produced highest yield of 61.28 and 54.97 q/ha, respectively. Adaptable IPM (M2) module involving biorationals and selective insecticide was found to be effective and resulted higher net profit of Rs.57926 compared to rest of the modules tested.
