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 OF BROILER PRODUCTION OF KARNATAKA STATE
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2016-07-15) AMARESH; Manjunath, V
    The study was conducted to analyse the broiler production of Karnataka State with the help of time series data for a period of 19 years from 1996-97 to 2014-15 and to know the causes for its disparity among the districts, the district wise data pertaining to 13 indicator variables for the period of 12 years from 2003-04 to 2014-15 were utilized. The state experienced progressive increase in broiler meat production during the study period. The growth of broiler production is not uniform across all the districts of the state. Hence an attempt was made to construct growth models separately by grouping the districts based on their production as well as administrative divisions. The different polynomial and exponential models were found to be more suitable for the broiler meat production in different groups and also for the divisions. The most appropriate model was determined by using coefficient of determination (R2) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) criteria. The disparity analysis using composite index computed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) indicates that there was a wide disparity in broiler production among the districts of Karnataka state during the study period and the inference is supported by Kendall’s coefficient of concordance. Based on the eigen values of PCA for each districts revealed that area under irrigated land, area under maize and area under pulses in agriculture sector, whereas number of veterinary institutions and road length in the infrastructure sector were found to be the main causes for the disparity in broiler production among the districts of Karnataka State.
