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.

    EVALUATION OF HERBICIDES IN TRANSPLANTED FINGER MILLET (Eleusine coracana Gaertn.)

    A field experiment was conducted during rabi season 2013-14, at College of Agriculture, V. C. Farm, Mandya. The experiment was laid out in RCBD with ten treatments and three replication. The treatments consist of four different herbicides butachlor, oxyfluorfen, oxadiargyl, bispyribac sodium and one pre mix formulation of bensulfuron methyl and pretilachlor. Among different herbicides, pre mix formulation of bensulfuron methyl at 60 g + pretilachlor at 600 g a.i. ha-1 as pre emergence application, recorded lower sedges, grasses, broad leaved weeds, total weed density (4.0, 13.0, 3.7 and 20.7/0.25 m2, respectively), lower dry weight (0.40, 1.80, 0.43 and 2.63 g/0.25 m2, respectively), lower weed index and higher weed control efficiency (91.57 %). This treatment registered significantly higher grain (4289 kg ha-1) and straw yield (6454 kg ha-1) which may be attributed to significantly higher plant height (86.80 cm), number of tillers (6.16 hill-1), dry weight of plant (42.43 g hill-1) at harvest and number of leaves (35.61 hill-1), leaf area (1432 cm2 hill-1) at 60 DAT, and higher yield attributing characters like number of productive tillers (4.52 hill-1), ear head length (16.58 cm), ear head weight (54.73 g hill-1), test weight (3.02 g) and nutrient uptake (79.30, 15.00 and 58.61 kg nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium ha-1, respectively). This treatment also resulted in higher net returns (` 55,252 ha-1) and B:C ratio (2.95) and found mostbeneficial and comparable with the treatments intercultivation at 20 DAT followed by hand weeding at 30 DAT and pre-emergence application of oxyfluorfen 23.5 EC at 80 g a.i. ha-1 in transplanted finger millet.
