University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru

University of Agricultural Sciences Bangalore, a premier institution of agricultural education and research in the country, began as a small agricultural research farm in 1899 on 30 acres of land donated by Her Excellency Maharani Kempa Nanjammanni Vani Vilasa Sannidhiyavaru, the Regent of Mysore and appointed Dr. Lehmann, German Scientist to initiate research on soil crop response with a Laboratory in the Directorate of Agriculture. Later under the initiative of the Dewan of Mysore Sir M. Vishweshwaraiah, the Mysore Agriculture Residential School was established in 1913 at Hebbal which offered Licentiate in Agriculture and later offered a diploma programme in agriculture during 1920. The School was upgraded to Agriculture Collegein 1946 which offered four year degree programs in Agriculture. The Government of Mysore headed by Sri. S. Nijalingappa, the then Chief Minister, established the University of Agricultural Sciences on the pattern of Land Grant College system of USA and the University of Agricultural Sciences Act No. 22 was passed in Legislative Assembly in 1963. Dr. Zakir Hussain, the Vice President of India inaugurated the University on 21st August 1964.

    STUDIES ON THE USE OF PHEROMONE TRAPS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF GROUNDNUT LEAF MINER, Aproaerema modicella (DEVENTER) (GELECHIIDAE: LEPIDOPTERA)
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru, 2018-08-04) AMARESH, S. B.; Prabhu, C. Ganiger
    The studies were conducted during kharif, 2017 at ARS, Pavagada, Tumakur district. The results showed that, A. modicella moths were active from July to September. During the study period, the moth population fluctuated between 5 to 24 moths/trap/week with overall mean of 13.63 moths/trap during the cropping period. Field observations on seasonal incidence of A. modicella revealed that, the peak moth catches were observed during 2nd (36th MSW) and 3rd week of September (37th MSW). The maximum and minimum temperature, relative humidity including rainfall influenced the moth catches, while wind speed had negative relationship. Effect of design, colour and trap height on the efficiency of pheromone trap catches of groundnut leaf miner moths were also evaluated. The eight different designs of trap were evaluated for optimum GLM moth catches. The performance of trap with entire sticky liner with lure (25.71 moths/trap) was found superior compared to sleeve, wota-T and delta (sticky) traps. Among different trap colours evaluated, yellow trap (17.30 moths/trap) followed by orange trap (15.00 moths/trap) were found efficient in trapping higher number of groundnut leaf miner moths. Of the five different placements of pheromone traps evaluated, the overall mean trap catches were highest at 30 cm trap height (15.07 moths/trap) from ground level and it was found significant over all other trap heights. The data on compatibility of pheromone lures revealed that, significant highest mean moth catches of groundnut leaf miner were observed when the lure was placed in alone (33.51 moths/trap) compared to combination of lures.
