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.

    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)."
