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.

    INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT TO ENHANCE THE PRODUCTIVITY OF SOYBEAN UNDER RAINFED CONDITION
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 2009-08-15) ABDUL, WAHAB HEKMAT; Nagaraju
    A field experiment was conducted at Agroforestary field unit, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru during Kharif 2008, to study the integrated nutrient management in order to enhance the productivity of soybean under rainfed condition. The soil of the experimental site was red sandy clay loam. and slightly acidic (pH 5.7) and electrical conductivity of 0.06 dSm -1 at 250c. The organic carbon content was 0.32 per cent with medium available nitrogen (226.4 kg ha-1), available phosphorus (18.58 kg ha-1) and available potassium (176.32 kg ha-1). The experiment was laid out in split plot design with twelve total treatment combinations with three levels of farm yard manure (5, 10 and 15 t ha-1 ) and four levels of recommended dose of fertilizers (0, 50, 100 and 150 per cent NPK ). Application of different levels of farm yard manure (FYM) and recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) significantly influenced the soybean seed and haulm yields. Significantly higher seed and haulm yields (1949 and 3163 kg ha-1, respectively) were recorded with 15 t FYM ha-1 followed by 10 t FYM ha-1 application (1902 and 2877 kg ha-1, respectively) as compared to 5 tones farm yard manure application per hectare (1813 and 2579 kg ha-1, respectively). Similarly higher seed and haulm yields were recorded significantly with application of 150 per cent recommended dose of fertilizer (2447 and 3753 kg ha-1, respectively). The interaction effect was found significant, among different treatment combinations, application of 15 t FYM ha-1 + 150 % RDF ha-1 recorded significantly higher seed yield (2490 and 4067 kg ha-1, respectively) as compared to other treatment combinations.
