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.

    EFFECT OF INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIC FARMING PRACTICES ON YIELD AND QUALITY OF FLUE CURED VIRGINIA TOBACCO (Nicotiana tabacum L.)
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 2009-08-25) HUSSAIN, ALMAHASNEH.; GANESH BABU, M. S.
    Field experiments were carried out on red loamy sand soil of Zonal Agricultural Research Station, Navile, Shimoga, Karnataka during kharif seasons of 2006 and 2007. The investigation involved two field experiments and one pot culture experiment. In experiment-1, eight treatments were tried in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications to study the effect of integrated nutrient management in FCV tobacco to improve leaf yield and quality. In experiment-2, twelve treatments were tried in RCBD with three replications to study the effect of organic production of FCV tobacco for improving the quality of tobacco leaves. In experiment-3 (pot culture experiment), ten treatments were tried in CRD with three replications to study nutrient release pattern in the soil under integrated nutrient management and organic FCV tobacco production. In experiment-1, pooled data of two years indicated that 50% recommended N through neem cake and 50 % through inorganic fertilizers recorded the highest green leaf yield (10,150 kg ha-1), cured leaf yield (1416 kg ha-1) and top grade equivalent yield (785 kg ha-1). All the treatments recorded acceptable limits of chemical quality parameters. However, application of 50% recommended N through neem cake and 50% through inorganic fertilizers recorded the highest phosphorus, potassium and reducing sugars, lowest chloride and nicotine content in 'X' and 'L' position leaves. In experiment-2, pooled data of two years indicated that recommended NPK and 12.5 t ha-1 FYM (package of practices) recorded the highest cured leaf yield (1340 kg ha-1) and top grade equivalent yield (775 kg ha-1) and was on par with 100% recommended N through vermicompost + maize stover + Azotobacter + PSB (1275 kg ha-1 cured leaf yield and 742 kg ha-1 top grade equivalent yield). However, application of 100% recommended N through vermicompost + maize stover + Azotobacter + PSB recorded the highest potassium and reducing sugars content, lowest chloride and nicotine content of 'X' and 'L' position leaves. In pot culture experiment, data clearly indicated that application of neem cake along with inorganic fertilizers under integrated nutrient management practices and vermicompost and maize stover along with biofertilizers (Azotobacter and Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria) under organic farming practices of FCV tobacco help in release of nutrients steadily and make it available to the plants during crop growth period.

    STUDY ON EXTENT OF FARM WOMEN EMPOWERMENT IN CHITRADURGA DISTRICT OF KARNATAKA
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 2009-09-24) PUSHPA, P.; NARASIMHA, N.
    Since time immemorial, women have played an important role in Indian agriculture. Women contribute significantly to agricultural development and allied fields. In recent years, the empowerment of women has been recognized as the central issue in determining the status of women. The study was carried out in Chitradurga district, totally 180 farm women were selected and data was collected by personal interview method. The instrument relating to the measurement of extent of farm women empowerment was not available; therefore an attempt has been made in the present investigation to develop an instrument to measure the extent of farm women empowerment. With a view to attaining an interval level of measurement in developing the farm women empowerment score, normalised rank approach recommended by Guilford (1954) was followed. The important findings of the study were; i) F-ratio (F=15.39) for different taluks of Chitradurga district was found significant at 1 per cent level, which indicates variation in level of empowerment in different taluks. ii) Comparison of mean score with the computed values of critical difference revealed that, the extent of farm women empowerment was almost similar in Challakere and Hosadurga taluk. The extent of farm women empowerment was more in case of Chitradurga district. iii) All the factors taken together contributed more than 71 per cent of variation in farm women empowerment. This was indicated by a high R2 value of 0.7199, which was significant at one per cent level (F19, 160=21.65). iv) The step number 1 with only one variable, participation in trainings could explain more than 59 per cent of the variation in farm women empowerment.v) The F value (F8, 171= 52.80) was found to be significant at one per cent level which indicated the significance of the regression equation in predicting the farm women empowerment.
