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.

    EFFICACY OF WEED MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN ORGANIC FINGER MILLET (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.)
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 2013-07-10) BASAVARAJ, PATIL.; REDDY, V. C.
    A field experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications to study the efficacy of weed management practices in organic finger millet during /chan/2012 at Main Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Hebbal, Bengaluru, Among the treatments tried to manage weeds, hand weeding twice produced the highest grain yield (5460 kg ha'1) and was on par with stale seedbed combined with inter cultivation twice (5365 kg ha'1) as a result of weed control efficiency (93.2 % and 91.6 %, respectively). Nutrient uptake by finger millet was higher in hand weeding twice (95.3 N, 16.2 P and 68.2 K kgha"1) followed by stale seedbed technique combined with inter cultivation twice (93.7, 15.3 and 66.5, kg ha'1 respectively). Unweeded check resulted in yield reduction of 50% due to the lowest uptake of the nutrient by finger millet was in unweeded control treatment (56.4 N, 4.8 P and 40.1 K kg ha'^.The stale seedbed technique with inter cultivation twice at 20 and 35 DAP followed by hand weeding twice at 20 and 30 DAP recorded the highest net return and B:C ratio (Rs. 56,939 and 56,545 ha_1and 2.61, and 2.56, respectively).
