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.

    DEVELOPMENT OF EMPIRICAL CROP LOSS MODELS IN GROUNDNUT (Arachis hypogaea L.) AFFECTED BY LATE LEAFSPOT AND RUST
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 2001-08-13) CHANDRAN, K.P.; ASHALATHA, K. V.
    In the present study, an attempt was made to have an insight into the yield loss mechanism in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in presence of the fungal diseases viz., late leafspot and rust. Analysis of variance of yield and disease variables, revealed that there existed significant variations among the genotypes under study, both for yield potential and response to diseases. Moreover, disease severity was more in late sown trial and thus low yield, as compared to the early sown trial. Simple linear regression models of yield loss on disease variable at each stage, revealed that in early sown trial for pod, kernel and fodder loss, disease at 85th day after sowing DAS) was having more explanatory value compared to other stages, while it was 65th DAS for oil loss (based on r^). In late sown trial, explanatory value of the models were low, comparatively and better results were obtained with disease at 95th DAS for all yield loss variables. AUDPC models, polynomial and non linear models could not explain the variations in yield loss more precisely than the models with single point disease variables. Multiple point linear regression models of yield loss on disease at different stages taken together, improved the explanatory value, but could not explain the variation precisely. Stepwise regression analysis on disease variable and physiological traits like leaf area index, harvest index, partitioning coefficient and growth rates improved the R2 value of the models considerably, both in early and late sown trials. Grouping of genotypes with pod loss and disease variables using Mahalonobis D2 showed similar results in both trials, where variety TAG 24, which show moderate yield loss even at high disease severity, was grouped separately.

    A STATISTICAL STUDY OF VARIATION IN ARRIVALS AND PRICES OF POTATO IN THE SELECTED MARICETS OF KARNATAKA
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2007-08-30) GANGADHARAPPA H.; S. N. MEGERI
    Potato is an edible starchy tuber produced by certain plants of the genus - solanum and family - solanaccac. Potato is the fourth most important food crop in the world exceeded only by wheat, rice and maize for human consumption. The present study was conducted in Bangalore, Belgaum, Kolar, Hassan and Hubli markets during 1996-97 to 2003-04. The secondary data pertaining to monthly model price rupees per quintal, monthly total arrivals in quintals were collected from Karnataka State Agriculture Marketing Board, Bangalore. For evaluation of different objectives, multiplicative time series analysis, two way ANOVA, correlation coefficient, co-integration test and ARIMA model were used. The study shows, the peak arrivals season in the months of August, September and October, whereas the prices are high during April, June and July months were observed in all the selected markets. It was noticed in ail the selected markets that there was an positive trend. The arrivals have increased in all the selected markets except in Hubli market, but the quantum of increasing arrivals varies from market to market. The cyclical component was not found in all the selected markets for both arrivals and prices. The couelation coellicienls were calculated between the arrivals and prices of all the selected markets, which indicated that the coefficient are significant except Bangalore market. All the selected markets are integrated with zero order of integration. Since, the trend forecast is not precise for owing to non-stationarity of data, it is not always reliable. So, Box-Jen kin's method is applied for precise forecasting of arrivals and prices of potato for monthly data to all the selected markets.

    STATISTICAL ANALYSIS ON RARE, ENDANGERED AND THREATENED (RET) MEDICINAL PLANTS IN SACRED GROVES OF KODAGU, CENTRAL WESTERN GHATS
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2007-08-30) VIJAY C.R.; SHRI. P. A. KATARKI
    Sacred groves are unique landscapes and relies of original vegetation being preserved under community conservation concept. The assessment of population status of RET species was carried out in the sacred groves of Kodagu district. The growing stocks and regeneration status of RET species with respect to their potential spatial distribution that are influenced by ecological factors was assessed in ten sacred groves under semi-evergreen and seven groves under moist-deciduous vegetation. Species diversity of trees (H =2.570) and regeneration (H =3.673) and richness of both trees (17) and regeneration (8.00) were higher in sacred groves of semi-evergreen than that of moist deciduous vegetation. With respect to spatial pattern of RET trees Cannarium strictum showed clumped pattern (x^ = 8.7042) where as other species showed neither clumped nor random pattern. In spatial distribution pattern of regeneration only Artocarpus hirsutus showed clumped pattern {x2= 6.6716). Assessment of species abundance was also done from data of both vegetation types. Cinommomum macrocarpum acquired first position (398) with relative abundance (0.3376) in case of growing stock and also in regeneration with recorded number of 245 individuals and relative abundance of 0.4890. while considering individual vegetation type. Cinommomum macrocarpum had 723 and 275 Individuals in sacred groves of semi-evergreen and moist deciduous vegetation respectively. From the pooled data of regeneration of both vegetation types, the abundance with individuals of 188 and 157 and with relative frequency of 0.5000 and 0.4830. Regarding assessment of influence of ecological factors on population of RET species, the ecological parameters such as latitude, longitude and rainfall had significant influence on girth, height and basal area (r = 0.630. 0.49 and 0.597) respectively. The present study confirms the hypothesis that mild disturbance had great influence on higher density of RET medicinal species.
