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.

    APPLICATION OF COVARIANCE TECHNIQUE IN LONG TERM FERTILIZER EXPERIMENT

    Data generated in AICRP on LTFE for the 2007-2012 has been considered in this study. Primary nutrients such as Nitrogen, phosphorous, Potassium and Sulphur have positive significant influence with yield in addition to Zinc, Manganese, Iron and Organic Carbon. Rest have Positive non significant correlation with yield. Path coefficient analysis is used to study direct /indirect effect of soil parameters with the yield. The association is recorded after neutralizing the negative direct effect by the positive indirect effect while causing interaction effect in response. Balanced (NPK) nutrients are having better association (low residual effect) with yield. Higher residual effect noticed with higher dose of balanced nutrition (150% NPK) and also with imbalanced nutrition indicating poor association. Canonical correlation of response group (grain and straw yield) with primary nutrients group is more followed by secondary and tertiary nutrition group. This indicated primary nutrients are more responsible for productivity. First canonical covariate itself is explaining more variation in all the years and for the pooled data. Strong relation between them is observed by the higher Eigen values compared to the second canonical variate. ANCOVA revealed that majority of the significantly related variables (soil parameters) as covariates are having less error mean sum of squares than ANOVA. It can be inferred that, analysis of covariance will minimize the error component of analysis when analyzed with significantly related components. ANCOVA is relatively more efficient than ANOVA, since value of relative efficiency is more than 1 with the significant variables as covariates.
