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 BENEFICIAL MICROORGANISMS ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF QUINOA (Chenopodium quinoa. Wild.)
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, GKVK BENGALURU, 2019-09-17) AMEER PASHA, B.; Krishna Naik, L.
    Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa), called golden grain, is one of the main food crop of the Andean mountains of Latin America, It is characterized by an outstanding protein quality and a high content of a range of vitamins and minerals It is cardinal to study the effectiveness of beneficial microorganisms to maximize the beneficial plant growth responses. This study was conducted to know the influence of Azotobacter chroococcum, Bacillus megaterium, Fraturia aurantia, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Glomus fasciculatum on growth and yield of quinoa under glass house and laboratory conditions at Department of Agricultural Microbiology, University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK campus, Bengaluru. Plant growth parameters, like height of the plant, number of leaves, number of branches, and Plant yield parameters, like panicle length, panicle weight, grain yield per plant, grain yield kg/ha, test weight of 1000 seeds, was found maximum in treatment (T17) inoculated with Azotobacter chroococcum + Bacillus megaterium + Pseudomonas fluorescens and least growth was obtained in uninoculated treatment (T1)(only RDF). Nutrient content of quinoa seeds like N, P and protein content was estimated. Maximum N, P and protein content in seeds was found in treatment inoculated with Azotobacter chroococcum + Bacillus megaterium + Pseudomonas fluorescens and minimum was found in treatment with uninoculated (only RDF).
