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.

    STATISTICAL ANALYSIS FOR YIELD AND YIELD ATTRIBUTING CHARACTERS ON ELITE MULBERRY GENOTYPE
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 2014-07-22) BHAVYASHREE, S; Krishnamurthy, K N
    Sixteen mulberry genotypes were evaluated over six seasons of two years 2011 and 2012.The parameters computed were single leaf area, 100 fresh leaf weight, moisture content, moisture retention capacity at 6, 12, 24 hours and leaf yield. The material for this study was collected from the experiment conducted by the Department of Sericulture, UAS, GKVK, Bangalore. Multivariate analysis of variance revealed that all the tests are significant at 5% level indicating that none of the treatment genotypes are parallel or at the same level. Path coefficient analysis revealed that 100 fresh leaf weight had the highest positive direct effect on leaf yield. Moisture content and moisture retention capacity at 12 hours had the next highest direct effect. Hence, selection based on these traits would ultimately improve the leaf yield of mulberry genotypes. Three different models Eberhart and Russell, Perkins and Jinks and Freeman and Perkins were used to study the stability of yield and yield attributing characters of mulberry. Three different stability parameters were considered while assessing the genotypes are mean performance of genotypes, regression coefficient (bi) and deviation from regression (S2di). The genotype Karanahalli was found to be well adapted to all environments, the genotype C-763 was poorly adapted to all environments, the genotype ME-52 was specially adapted to favorable environment and the genotype China white was specially adapted to unfavorable environment.
