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 STUDY OF SOIL PRODUCTIVITY IN SELECTED SUB WATERSHEDS
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru, 2018-08-23) ARCHANA, N.; Manjunath, V.
    The study was conducted to analyse the soil productivity in Siddappanapalya sub watershed having eight micro watersheds. From each micro-watershed forty grid soil samples were collected and for each soil sample different physico-chemical characters, major nutrients, secondary nutrients, micro nutrients were analysed and used for statistical analysis. In order to assess the statistical significance between different soil properties having a different characteristic in micro watersheds, multivariate analysis of variance was performed and results indicated the significant difference between soil properties among the micro watersheds. To assess the variation of particular soil character between the micro watersheds, univariate analysis of variance which is considered as a post hoc analysis of multivariate analysis were carried out. The results of the univariate analysis clearly indicated the significant differences in the average values of each soil character between the micro-watersheds. Based on the statistical mean differences, homogeneous micro watersheds were formed for each of the soil character. The fertility status of the soil is also analysed by using nutrient index approach. For calculating nutrient index values the soil test values for different nutrients, samples were classified into low, medium and high based on available standards. Further, forty soil samples in each microwatershed were grouped into low, medium and high with respect to nutrient index. In general based on all soil properties the low nutrient index in Siddappanapalya sub watershed was observed.
