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 TEAK (Tectona grandis Linn. f.) BASED AGROFORESTRY SYSTEM
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, BANGALORE, 2021-11-11) BHARATH, S.B.; MAHADEVAMURHTY, M.
    The study entitled “Studies on teak (Teactona grandis linn. f.) based agroforestry system” was carried out from October 2020 to May 2021 at agroforestry unit, ZARS, GKVK Bengaluru. The study involved quantification of litterfall, litter decomposition, carbon sequestration and to know the influence of Teak on growth and yield of intercrop. Litter production over the months varied significantly throughout the study period. The accumulated litterfall during the study period in T1 (12 m × 3 m), T2 (10 m × 3 m) and T3 (8 m × 3 m)was 394.66 Kg/ha,562.51Kg/ha and 837.05 Kg/ha respectively and the averagedecomposition rate constant of Teak was found to be 0.235 k month-1. In addition to this carbon sequestration potential of Teak in T3 was observed as 164.6 t/ha. Growth parameters like plant height, number of leaves and number of branches was found to be more for agricultural crop which was grown as main crop when compared with intercrop with Teak. Growth parameters of teak like height and girth was seen higher in the T1(12 m × 3 m)i.e., 8.70 m and 0.47 m respectively.
