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.

    INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE AND HETEROGENEITY OF SEED ORIGIN PLANTING MATERIAL ON GROWTH VARIATIONS IN Melia dubia Cav.
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2017-08-05) RAGHAVA, B.; Devakumar, A. S.
    This study is an attempt to assess the growth of Melia dubia in different locations of Karnataka. Four-year-old trees, grown under rainfed and irrigated conditions. Girth of the trees varied from as low as 0.40 m under rainfed conditions to as high as 0.60 m under irrigated condition and in height it ranged from as low as 3.27 m to 7.82 m respectively. The tree volume ranged from as low as 0.043 m3 in rainfed condition to as high as 0.172 m3 in irrigated condition. The above ground standing biomass of a tree varied from as low as 17.53 Kg tree-1 under rainfed to as high as 68.97 Kg tree-1 under irrigated condition. Results indicate that Melia dubia perform well under rainfed condition and responds well when grown under irrigated condition. Growth of Melia dubia is found to perform better than silver oak and teak under rainfed conditions. Large variation in the number of individuals found in different girth classes of the same age indicate the variation in growth due to heterogeneity of planting material of seed origin. The loss of productivity due to heterogeneity was found to the tune of 71 and 74 percent under rainfed and irrigated conditions respectively.
