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.

    EFFECT OF WATER-SOLUBLE FERTILIZER ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF SOYBEAN [Glycine max (L.) MERRILL]
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 2018-08-01) JAHID, AHMAD; MURALI, K.
    A field experiment was conducted during Kharif seasons of 2017 at Zonal Agricultural Research Station (ZARS), in Gandhi Krishi Vigyan Kendra (GKVK), University of Agriculture Sciences (UAS), Bengaluru on red sandy clay loam soil which was medium in available NPK, to evaluate the effect of water soluble fertilizers on growth attributes of soybean crop. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications and 10 treatments. Water-soluble fertilizers (NPK: 19: 19: 19) was used at different growth stages with 1.5 %, 2 % and 2.5 % concentration. Similarly significantly higher growth parameters like plant height (69.57 cm), number of branched (6.50), number of leaves plant-1 (27.53), leaf area plant-1 (1616.7 cm2), leaf area index (5.39) and dry matter accumulation plant-1 (21.30 g) were obtained with the treatment RDF + spraying of water-soluble fertilizer at 2.5 % at flowering + pod formation stage at 60 DAS, compared to other treatments. Significantly higher yield components like numbers of pods per plant and pod weight per plant (75.70 and 28.27 g plant-1 respectively) were recorded with RDF + spraying of water-soluble fertilizer at 2.5 % at flowering + pod formation stage. Further higher grain yield (3250 kg ha-1), gross returns (Rs. 97521) net returns (Rs. 70766) and higher B:C ratio (3.64) were obtained with treatment RDF + spraying of water-soluble fertilizer at 2.5 % at flowering + pod formation stage. The control (only RDF) treatment had recorded lowest values pertaining to growth and yield parameters.
