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.

    Seed Technological Approaches to Enhance Seed Yield and Quality In Perennial Fodder Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.)
    (University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 2015-06) Patil, Bapurayagouda; Merwade, M.N.
    The field experiments were conducted at Main Agricultural Research Station, Dharwad during kharif 2012-13 and 2013-14 and laboratory experiment were conducted in Department of Seed Science and Technology, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during 2013-14. The results revealed that, the inter row spacing of 30 cm recorded significantly higher seed yield (657.6 kg ha-1) as compared to 45 and 60 cm row spacings. In contrary, inter row spacing of 60 cm recorded significantly higher seed quality parameters as against to other row spacings. Application of 150:60:40 NPK kg ha-1 significantly higher seed yield (641.6 kg ha-1) and seed quality parameters. Whereas, the treatment combination of 30 cm row spacing and 150:60:40 NPK kg ha-1 recorded higher seed yield. The early sowing of crop in July IV week recorded significantly higher seed yield (593.4 kg ha-1), seed germination (39.67%) and seedling vigour index (1065) as compared to later sowings. The intra spacing of 45 x 10 cm recorded higher seed yield (492.4 kg ha-1) as against 45 x 15 and 45 x 20 cm spacings. The combination of July IV week sowing and 45 x 10 cm intra row spacing recorded higher seed yield (598.8 kg ha-1) as compared to other treatment combinations. Among the number of cuttings, uncut crop (control) recorded significantly maximum seed yield (576.4 kg ha-1), seed germination (40.00%) and seedling vigour index (1126) as compared to one, two, three and four cuttings. Seeds treated with KNO3 @1.0 % for 2 hrs found effective in breaking seed dormncy of perennial fodder sorghum cv. CoFS-29. It was recorded significantly higher seed germination (82.33%), seedling vigour index (2303), lesser dormant seeds (5.67 %) and dead seeds (7.00%) at the end of ten months of storage period which was followed by Thiourea @1.0 % for 2 hrs.

    Studies on Seed Production Techniques, Storability and Morphological Characterization of Fodder Maize (Zea Mays L.)
    (University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 2015-06) Patil, Shivagouda; Merwade, M.N.
    Three field experiments were conducted in fodder maize during 2013-14 and 2014-15 at MARS, UAS, Dharwad on effect of spacings, fertility levels, micronutrient application methods on growth, seed yield and quality traits and morphological characterization of thirteen genotypes and laboratory experiment was also conducted on effect of chemical and botanical seed treatments on seed storability under ambient conditions for twelve months. In first experiment, the combined effect of 60 x 30 cm row spacing and 150:100:50 kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1 recorded significantly maximum seed yield (31.58q/ha) as against 75 x 30 cm and 75:100:50 kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1 + 50% N supplemented through FYM (27.89 q/ha). Whereas, seed germination (98.50%), seedling vigour index (4164) were highest in 75 x 30 cm and 150:100:50 kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1 as against 60 x 30 cm and 75:100:50 kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1 + 50% N supplemented through FYM (93.50% and 3559, respectively). Soil application of Zinc sulphate @ 25 kg ha-1 + foliar spraying of 0.2% boron at 50 % flowering along with 150:100:50 kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1 (RDF) recorded significantly highest seed yield (122.38g) per plant and (32.57 q.) hectare, seed germination (99.17%) due to better growth, flowering and yield components. Seeds treated with vitavax power @ 3 gkg-1 of seeds retained higher 100 seed weight (29.70g), germination (90.50%), seedling vigour index (2891) and least seed infection (5.55%) as against untreated control seeds throughout twelve months ambient storage period. Thirteen fodder maize genotypes were grouped based on DUS guidelines as presence and absence of brace root anthocynin colouration, straight and drooping leaf attitude, silk colour, dent and flint grain types, white and orange seed colour. Among different characters studied, anthocynin colouration of brace roots was distinctly absent in the MFM-07-03, MFM-07-07 and MFM-07-11 genotypes over other genotypes.
