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 THE EFFECT OF GA3 AND FOLIAR NUTRIENTS ALONG WITH BIOFERTILIZERS ON GROWTH FLOWERING AND VASE LIFE OF ANTHURIUM (Anthurium andreanum Lind.) Cv. TROPICAL RED
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 2010-07-15) ANASUBAI, G. HANDARAGALL; JAYANTHI, R.
    The investigation on “Studies on the effect of foliar nutrients and GA3 along with bio-fertilizers on growth, flowering and vase life of Anthurium (Anthurium andreanum Lind.) cv. Tropical Red” was carried out during the year 2009 – 2010 at ZARS Division of Horticulture, Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru. The experiment was conducted under 70% shade net with 11 treatments and 3 replications following Completely Randamized Design, with different combinations of GA3 (0ppm, 50ppm, 100ppm, 200ppm and 300ppm) and foliar nutrients (N at two levels, P at two levels and K at constant level) along with biofertilizers (Azospirillum, PSB and VAM at 2gm each per plant). Application of NPK at 30:10:10 at the rate of 0.2% spray, GA3 at 100 ppm along with application of biofertilizers (Azospirillum, PSB, VAM each at 2 g/ plant) recorded significantly maximum plant height (26.43 cm), maximum number of leaves (9.73) and leaf area (253 cm2), highest number of suckers per plant (3.50), early flower bud appearance and least number of days to flower opening (61.20 days and 12.00 days respectively), maximum number of flowers per plant and flower yield per m2 (4.46 and 34.00 respectively) and flower quality characters like spathe length and width (7.1 cm and 7.96 cm respectively) was significantly maximum with longest spadix (6.73 cm), highest spadix girth (1.22 cm), maximum stalk length (24 cm) and stalk girth (0.48 cm) and longest vase life (19.33 days) was observed in the same treatment combination. Of all the treatments, application of NPK at 30:10:10 at the rate of 0.2% spray, GA3 at 100 ppm along with application of biofertilizers (Azospirillum, PSB, VAM each at 2 g/ plant) proved to be the best in Anthurium andreanum Cv, “Tropical Red” for improving vegetative growth, flowering and vase life characters.
