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.

    INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF WAX MOTH (Galleria mellonella L.)

    The greater wax moth (GWM) Galleria mellonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is a serious pest of Apis cerana. In the present study different binary blends of undecanal and nonanal in the per cent ratio of 95:5, 90:10, 85:15, 80:20, 60:40, 50:50, 30:70, 20:80 and10: 90 elicited response in female GWM, showed that one to four moths among 30moths exhibited behavioural patterns such as stationary fanning, ambulation, ambulatory fanning, hovering, searching and circling. The 30:70 blend elicited maximum response in female moths. The behavioural bioassay revealed that the moths of 3 to 5 days old showed maximum responses to the best binary blend of undecanal and nonanal (3:7) at 7pm to 9pm with more than 60 per cent moths exhibiting pheromone specific behavioural patterns. The funnel trap with best blend of undecanal and nonanal at 3:7 ratio was used for attracting female GWM. However, the trap was failed to attract any moths.Eight different treatments evaluated for different larval instars of GWM viz., refrigeration, Bt Kurstaki (Halt) and pongamia oil gave maximum number of larval mortality and comb protection. In case of Bt local strain 1&2, neem oil and NSKE gave intermediate comb protection and larval mortality. Dried neem leaf gave minimum comb protection and larval mortality. Under natural condition all the products gave maximum protection against GWM. By using normal queen gate moths could able to enter the hive but in modified queen gate moths have difficulty to enter the hive.
