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 SOIL AND FOLIAR APPLICATION OF BORON ON SOIL PROPERTIES, GROWTH, YIELD AND QUALITY OF CABBAGE (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.)

    A field experiment entitled “Studies on soil and foliar application of boron on soilproperties, growth, yield and quality of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.)” was carriedout in farmers field during Rabi 2021. The experiment was laid out in a RCBD with tentreatments replicated thrice. The results indicated significantly higher plant height (38.41 cm),number of loose leaves (16), plant spread in E-W (72.34 cm) and N-S direction (77.91 cm),chlorophyll content (67.83 SPAD reading), TSS (4.25⁰ Brix), ascorbic acid (52.59 mg 100g-1),crude fiber (16.09 %) and head yield (37.11 t ha-1) were recorded in treatment which receivedRDF+FYM+6.0 kg ha-1 B through borax as soil application + 0.25 % B through boric acid asfoliar application (T10) whereas lowest plant height (28.98 cm), number of loose leaves per plant(11), plant spread in E-W (45.78 cm) and N-S direction (28.57 cm), chlorophyll (44.94 SPAD reading), TSS (3.46⁰ Brix), ascorbic acid (36.34 mg 100g-1), crude fiber (10.29%) and head yield(27.39 t ha-1) was recorded in T1 (RDF+FYM). Higher boron content in leaves one week afterfoliar spray (55.36 mg kg-1) and at harvest (56.16 mg kg-1) was recorded in the treatment T10. Theboron content in heads of cabbage at harvest (52.00 mg kg-1) and boron uptake by cabbage (192.19 g ha-1) was significantly higher in T10 treatment. Significantly higher available boron insoil at harvest of cabbage (2.07 mg kg-1) was recorded in T5 treatment (RDF +FYM+8.0 ha-1boron through borax as soil application).December,
