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 CHARACTERISTICS OF DUMPING YARD LEACHATE FROM MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE AND THEIR IMPACT ON SOIL, WATER, CROP AND HUMAN HEALTH
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 2020-12-24) KIRAN, S. C.; Nagarajaiah, C
    The Leachate produced from municipal solid waste open dumping site of Bengaluru, India was examined to know Leachate transfer potential, pollution potential and enumeration of microbial population, to know the spatial and temporal variation in soil, ground and stream water. To know the impact of leachate at different leachate concentration (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 %) on growth and biomass production of cabbage was conducted under greenhouse condition. The survey has also been conducted for correlating the facts regarding human health. The leachate collected during summer has higher leachate pollution index followed by winter and rainy season. Potentially heavy metals in leachate derived from dumping site have transfer potential till 3 to 4 km in soil and ground water and till 5th km in stream water. Cordially high content of heavy metals in the leachate, the groundwater and soil near the dumping site are polluted may be due to redox potential. The enumeration of microbial population in ground water and stream water resulted as increase in population with decrease in distance in summer fallowed by winter and rainy season. The survey results are also in line with information collected from primary health centre regarding human health and results obtained.
