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.

    EFFECT OF GROWTH REGULATOR ON ROOTING AND SPROUTING OF POMEGRANATE (Punica granatum L.) CUTTING UNDER GREENHOUSE CONDITION
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 40773) ABDUL RASOOL, ATAYI; KRISHNA MANOHAR, R
    The present investigation to know the effect of IBA on rooting and sprouting in basal and mid cuttings of pomegranate (Punica granatum L) was carried out during year 2010-2011 at the Department of Horticulture, Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra (GKVK), University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, Karnataka, India. Observation on the vegetative parameters are significantly higher with the treatment containing 1000 ppm IBA concentration (T1) in basal cuttings with regard to days taken for sprouting (14.33 days), number of sprouting per cutting (6.18), length of shoot (7.59 cm), number of leaves (22.30), number of roots (20.46), length of longest roots (6.41cm) as well as survival percentage (82.36 %) as compared to control (18.00 days), number of sprouting per cutting (3.81), length of shoot (5.21 cm), number of leaves (16.26), number of roots (17.16), length of longest roots (4.14cm) and survival percentage (46.49 %) respectively). Among the cuttings, basal cuttings recorded statistically significant difference in shoot and root parameters from first to seventh week after planting than mid cuttings. Among the different growth regulator concentrations, IBA @ 1000 ppm induced better root and shoot from first to seventh week against control. The maximum net profit (Rs.118.75) could be obtained in same concentration from 75 cuttings.
