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.

    STUDIES ON FOLIAR APPLICATION OF NUTRIENTS ON PRODUCTIVITY OF SOYBEAN [Glycine max (L.) Merrill]
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2018-10-27) BRANDON LYNGDOH; Krishnamurthy, N.
    A field experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2016 at the Zonal Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru to evaluate the effect of foliar nutrition on productivity of soybean crop (Variety MAUS -2). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. There were ten treatments consisting of various combinations of nutrient application viz. RDF + water spray, RDF + Urea @ 2 % spray, RDF + DAP @ 2 % spray at pod initiation, RDF + MOP @ 0.5 %spray, RDF + NPK(19:19:19) @ 2% spray, RDF+ Molybdenum @ 0.5% spray, RDF + Boron @ 0.5% spray, RDF + Zinc chelated @ 0.5% spray, RDF + biodigester liquid spray and RDF through organic source (FYM) @ 13.44 kg plot-1 . The treatments were imposed during pod initiation stage of crop growth (45 DAS). The application of RDF + DAP @ 2% spray resulted in significantly higher plant height at harvest (40.32 cm), number of leaves plant-1 at 60 DAS and at harvest (37.73 and 10.46, respectively), leaf area plant-1 at 60 DAS and at harvest (850.00 cm2 and 394.34 cm2 , respectively), number of pods plant-1 (43.00), number of seeds pod-1 (3.00), number of seeds plant-1 (88.37), higher grain yield (3772 kg ha-1 ) and higher uptake of NPK (302.95, 35.42 and 108.88 kg ha-1 , respectively) compared to the other treatments. Foliar application of DAP @ 2 % also recorded significantly higher oil content (22.01 %), protein content (40.41 %), higher net return of ` 55,808 ha-1 and BC ratio of 2.84.
