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.

    Utilization of selected materials for development of granular formulations of microbial consortium of agriculturally important microorganisms (AIM)
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru, 2011-11-28) G, Swapna; G. P, Brahmaprakash
    An investigation was carried out to study the effect of granular inoculant formulations of individual, dual inoculants and microbial consortium in eight selected substrates on survival, degradation, release of microorganisms and growth and development of finger millet plant (Eleusine coracana). Survival of Azotobacter chroococcum, Bacillus megaterium and Pseudomonas fluorescens individually, A. chroococcum + B. megaterium, A. chroococcum + P. fluorescens and B. megaterium + P. fluorescens dual inoculants and microbial consortium A. chroococcum + B. megaterium + P. fluorescens was highest in soybean granular inoculant formulations. Wheat, wheat + semolina, soybean and soybean + semolina granular formulations showed maximum degradation in presence and absence of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) and finger millet plant. Faster degradation was observed when granules were incubated in presence of finger millet plant in soil compared to tomato plant and slow degradation was observed in absence of plant. Maximum release of microbial consortium was observed in soybean granular inoculant formulations in presence and absence of tomato and finger millet plant. Green house experiments revealed maximum number of leaves, plant height, chlorophyll content, shoot and root nitrogen concentration, shoot and root phosphorus concentration, root dry weight, shoot dry weight and total biomass in seeds inoculated with microbial consortium of A. chroococcum + B. megaterium + P. fluorescens which was statistically on par with A. chroococcum + B. megaterium when compared with main effect of cultures. Among all three selected substrate based granular inoculant formulations, rice granular inoculant formulations performed better than ragi granular inoculant formulations and wheat granular inoculant formulations. The presence of nutrients showed superior results than the absence of nutrients.
