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.

    STANDARDIZATION OF ORGANIC CROP PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES FOR GROUNDNUT (Arachis hypogaea L.) – FINGER MILLET (Eleusine coracana(L.) Gaertn.) CROPPING SYSTEM IN THE EASTERN DRY ZONE OF KARNATAKA
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2017-11-11) ANANDA, M.R.; SHARANAPPA
    Field experiments were conducted during kharif and rabi seasons of 2015 and 2016 in farmer’s field of Chintamani taluk, Chikkaballapura district to develop organic production technologies for groundnut-finger millet sequence cropping system. The results revealed that application of EBDLM @ 25 kg N equi. ha-1 + three sprays of 3 per cent panchagavya recorded significantly higher pod and haulm yield of groun dnut (2231 and 3387 kg ha-1 respectively) as compared to other treatments which was evidenced by higher total dry mater accumulation and LAI (17.38 g plant-1 and 2.73 respectively) along with number of pods plant-1 (35.98) and kernel yield (1608 kg ha-1). Significantly higher grain yield and straw yield of finger millet (3787 and 5125 kg ha-1) was recorded with the application of EBDLM @ 50 kg N equi. ha-1 + three sprays of 3 per cent panchagavya as evidenced by more productive tillers plant-1, number of fingers earhead-1, earhead length and higher total drymatter accumulation plant-1(7.33, 9.33, 12.58 cm and 59.41 g, respectively). This could be attributed to more number of tillers plant-1 and LAI (7.87 and 2.98 respectively). Application of EBDLM @ 50 kg N equi. ha-1 + three sprays of 3 per cent panchagavya recorded higher oil and protein yield (799.64 and 430.55 kg ha-1 respectively) in groundnut and higher iron, calcium and protein (4.86 mg 100 g-1, 345.43 mg 100 g-1 and 10.95 %, respectively) content in finger millet grains. Significantly higher uptake of NPK (113.68, 12.80 and 100.97 kg ha-1, respectively in ground nut and 129.93, 12.70 and 82.10 kg ha-1, respectively in finger millet), availability (272.55, 38.52 and 170.65 kg ha-1, respectively in groundnut and 282.05, 50.22 and 182.40 kg ha-1, respectively in finger millet) and also net return and B:C ratio (Rs.79747 ha-1 and 3.14 respectively in groundnut and Rs. 113671 ha-1 and 3.85 respectively in finger millet) was recorded with EBDLM @ 25 kg N equi. ha-1 + three sprays of 3 % panchagavya in ground nut and 50 kg N equi. ha-1 + three sprays of 3 per cent panchagavya in finger millet crop. Pot culture experiment results indicated that, application of pongamia BDLM followed by glyricidia BDLM each @ 25 kg N equi. ha-1 recorded significantly higher pod and haulm yield (29.80 and 40.30 g plant-1) of groundnut as compared to other treatments.
