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.

    Discriminant Function Analysis of Probationary And Nohn-probationary Students' Measured Values. Personality Needs And Socio-economic Background Factors
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 1970) Thomas, Russell Eorle; Scott, William
    Thomas, Russell Earle. Ph.D., Purdue University, January, 1970. DISCRIMIHAHT FUNCTION ANALYSIS OF PROBATIONARY AND NON-PROBATIONARY STUDENTS' MEASURED VALUES, PERSONALITY NEEDS, AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC BACKGROUND FACTORS. Major Professor: Bruce Shertzer. Using the multiple discriminant function analysis, this study explored the quantifiable statistical differences in values, personality needs, and socio-economic data among student and faculty groups. Instruments employed in this investigation vere the Edvards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS), the Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Study of Values (AVL), the Brovn-Holtzman Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA), and a personally-developed questionnaire to collect socio-economic and self-concept data. The faculty sample included 23 engineering and l6 business instructors from Tri-State College. The student sample (n=23?) was selected through matching by academic major, class (i.e. freshman, sophomore, etc.), and ability level as measured by the School and College Ability Test. Thus, there were 6l engineering non-transfer non-probationary and 60 engineering non-transfer probatlonai? students; 17 business nontransfer non-probationary and 17 business non-transfer probationary students; seven business transfer non-probationary and seven business transfer probationary students; 17 engineering non-probationary twoyear college transfers and 17 engineering probationtuiy two-year college transfers; and I6 engineering non-probationary four-year college transfers and 16 engineering probationary four-year college transfers. ^plojrlng the multiple discriminant function analysis, the data vere analyzed in two sequences: first, the ten student and two faculty groups and secondly, the ten student groups alone. Ho crosa-Talidatlon group was established for either analysis because of the small numbers is scoe subgroups. In both aniOyses, the initial phases of the multiple discriminant function emalysis yielded latent roots which indicated significant discrimination between criterion groups. Using the centroid and standard dcTlatlon values for those discrlminsmt functions yielding significant discrimination between the criterion groups, figures were constructed to proTlde visual illustration of the data. For the first analysis, these illustrations suggested that the classification sequence of the analysis would have been fruitless. The classification sequence conducted in the second analysis, using the criterion sample resulted in a leurge amount of mis-, double-, and triple-classification of criterion subjects. The multiple overlap of centroid values for all student groups rendered difficult any conclusive remarks about the dlscriminable groups. The first discriminant function analysis involving the student and faculty groups indicated that the engineering and business faculty were dlserininable from the business probationary and non-probationary nontransfers and the business probationary transfers based upon the EPPS scales of Endurance, Order, Heterosexuality, Kurtxa-ance and Suecorance. Thus, these faculty groups viewed themselves as being understanding, persistent, orderly, sociable with women, and needing psychological support. The student groups, among which there was considerable overlap, Tieved themselves as primarily concerned about the utility of things end personal power as shown by the AVL Economic and Political scales. n>e student and faculty groups vere not clearly distinguishable frcm one another on the second and third dlscrlmlnp^t fXnctlons although individual student groups vere distinct from others. first discriminant function in the second imalysis revealed that probationary and non-prohatlonary business transfers vere dlscrimlnable from the eight other student groups based upon the receipt of transfer business credit or no receipt of transfer credit. The eight other student groups vere distinguishable on the basis of favoring, not favoring, or being undecided about college attendance directly following high school graduation. The second discriminant function in the second analysis disclosed that engineering probationary and non-probationaiy tvo-year college transfers vere differentiated from the other student groups on the basis of the factors of number of older brothers and sisters, year of classification, size of college previously attended, and graduation from the last college attended. The other student groups vere distinguishable from the engineering transfers on the basis of the factors of birth order, number of scholastic dismissals from college, receipt of transfer business credit and no receipt of transfer credit. Thus, the empirical results clearly revealed that significant discrimination vas taking place among the groups, but further examination of the data through analysis indicated that no group vas free fron overlap from another. The primary conclusion vas that the multiple discriminant function analysis possessed utility as a tool for defining student groups vhere the data are quantifiable.

    EFFECT OF MOISTURE ON GROWTH RATE, DEVELOPMENT AND LIPID COMPOSITION OF TWO STRAINS OF THE YELLOW MEALWORM, TENEBRIO MOLITOR L. (COLEOPTERA. TENEBRIONIDAE)
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 1970) Urs, Kolagala Chikke Devaraj
    The effects of water on growth rate, development, life cycle completion, and lipid composition were compared with two strains (A and B) of Tenebrio molitor L. reared on wheat shorts at 80° F. Water was found to accelerate larval growth, development, and life cycle completion of both strains. Strain B grew and developed faster, and completed imaginal ecdysis much earlier than strain A reared both with and without water. The total life cycle periods from egg to adult ecdysis for strain A were 213 and 177 days and for strain B 166 and 99 days in dry food and when water was available, respectively. Strain A molted more times with an average of 16 instars than strain B which had an average of 12 to 15 instars regardless of the availability of water. Average weights of prepupal larvae, pupae, and adults, and adult longevity and ecdysis of both strains were significantly increased when water was available. These increases were significantly higher in strain B than in strain A under both conditions. Water showed a tendency to reduce larval and pupal moralities in both strains, but data were insignificant.
