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 CONSERVATION TILLAGE AND NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON FINGER MILLET IN ALFISOLS UNDER RAINFED CONDITIONS
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2016-07-21) VEERESH, HATTI; Ramachandrappa, B. K
    A field experiment was conducted at AICRP for Dryland Agriculture, GKVK, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru during kharif2014 and 2015 on red sandy clay loam soil with low soil available N, K20 and medium P205 to study the effect of conservation tillage and nutrient management practices on finger millet. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three main plots on different tillage treatments and five sub plots of different nutrient management practices replicated thrice. Among different tillage practices, conventional tillage (2 ploughings + 1 harrowing + 2 intercultivations at 25 and 50 DAS) with sown finger millet has recorded significantly higher growth attributes resulting in significantly higher grain yield (3041 kg ha-1), straw yield (4687 kg ha-1), net returns 􀀗 54082 ha-') and B:C ratio (3.77) apart from higher nutrient, rain water and energy use efficiencies (58.12, 52.38 kg kg-1 N, 82.67, 74.41 kg kg-' P205 and 103.94, 93.81 kg kt1 K20, during 2014 and 2015, 4.78 kg ha-mm-' and 16.38, respectively) as compared to minimum and zero tillage practices. Among different nutrient management practices, 100 % recommended NPK (50:40:25 kg NPK ha-1) + 7.5 t FYM ha-1 recorded significantly higher growth attributes resulting in significantly higher grain yield (3030 kg ha-1), straw yield (4685 kg ha-1), net returns􀀗 50228 ha-1), B:C ratio (3.14) and rain water use efficiency (4.76 kg ha-mm-1) apart from improvement in soil physical properties [higher infiltration rate (16.11 cm h(1), cumulative infiltration (37.12 cm), maximum water holding capacity, lower bulk density and soil penetration resistance)], chemical properties [higher organic carbon (0.60 %)] and biological properties [higher population of bacteria (55.86 x 105 CFU g soir\ fungi (31.65 x 104 CFU g soir1), actinomycetes (18.35 x 103 CFU g soir1), microbial biomass carbon (572.0 µg g soir1), microbial biomass nitrogen (66.7 µg g soir1), urease (34.23 µg NH4-N g soir 1 h(1), dehydrogenase (179.56 µg TPF g soir1 24 h(1), acid phosphatase (37.91 g PNP g soir1) and alkaline phosphatase (36.58 g PNP g soir') activity] as compared to other nutrient management practices.

    EVALUATION OF PRE AND POST-EMERGENCE HERBICIDES FOR WEED MANAGEMENT IN IRRIGATED MAIZE (Zea mays L.)
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, 2013-07-17) VEERESH, HATTI; SANJAY, M T
    An experiment entitled “Evaluation of pre and post-emergence herbicides for weed management in irrigated maize (Zea mays L.)” was conducted during kharif, 2012 at Main Research Station, Hebbal, Bangalore. Fourteen treatments [topramezone 33.6 SC (16.8, 21.0 and 25.2 g a. i. ha-1) + atrazine 50 WP (250 g a. i. ha-1) with and without MSO adjuvant (2 ml lit-1), topramezone (25.2 g ha-1), tembotrione 42 SC (105 g a. i. ha-1) + isoxadifen-ethyl 21 SC (52 g a. i. ha-1) at 15 DAS, atrazine (1000 g ha-1) at 3 DAS, oxyflurofen 23.5 EC (200 g a. i. ha-1) and pendimethalin 30 EC (750 g a. i. ha-1) at 3 DAS followed by 2, 4-D Na 80 WP (500 g a. i. ha-1) at 30 DAS, two intercultivations, hand weedings (20 and 40 DAS) and weedy check] were replicated thrice in RCBD. Major weeds observed were Cyperus rotundus, Cynodon dactylon, Ageratum conyzoides and Cleome monophylla. Oxyflurofen- 200 g ha-1 + 2, 4-D Na-500 g ha-1 recorded significantly higher kernel yield, net returns and B:C ratio (6107 kg ha-1, Rs. 61,013 ha-1 and 3.35) followed by two hand weedings (6081 kg ha-1, Rs. 57,790 ha-1 and 3.00) and topramezone - 25.2 g ha-1 + atrazine – 250 g ha-1 (5864 kg ha-1, Rs. 58,887 ha-1 and 3.38) compared to atrazine -1000 g ha-1 (4638 kg ha-1, Rs. 41,981 ha-1 and 2.71) and weedy check (2157 kg ha-1, Rs. 8,238 ha-1 and 1.35) without any phytotoxicity on maize.
