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.

    IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON CASHEW CROP AT SELECTED LOCATIONS OF KARNATAKA –A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2015-10-28) ANITHA, R; Gowda, D.M
    The weather data for the period 1992 – 2011 was consider to study the impact of climate change on cashew crop productivity at Puttur and Chintamani stations. The significant difference was noticed in the mean of two-decades with respect to rainfall and sunshine hours at Puttur, minimum and maximum temperature at Chintamani stations. Higher variation was found in sunshine hours(43%) at Puttur and rainfall(36%) at Chintamani. From the result of cubic trend, minimum temperature and number of rainy days shows declining trend and rainfall shows, increasing trend in both the stations. Rainfall and number of rainy days showed the significant correlation with the yield in both the stations. In stepwise-regression, the number of rainy days found to be significant on yield in both flowering and overall period at Puttur and humidity(PM) and rainy days found to be significant in flowering and overall period at Chintamani. Regression model was fitted for the significant variables to obtain the expected yield, maximum yield can be obtained when the maximum temperature is at 37 ºC and number of rainy days is 12 in overall period. During flowering period, when sunshine hours is at 8 and number of rainy days is 10 at Puttur station. In chintamani location, the expected maximum yield can be obtained at humidity(AM) is 85 percent and the number of rainy days is 14 during overall period and during flowering period, when minimum temperature is 12 ºC and humidity(AM) is 80 percent. 5.93 and 8.30 percent of variations in the mean yield was noticed for a given varying interval of climatic factors during overall and flowering period respectively at Puttur In Chintamani, 11.10 and 11.4 percent variations in the mean yield was observed for a given climatic factors during overall and flowering period.
