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 TURFVIGOUR AND AGRIPLEX ON STRAWBERRY [Fragaria x ananassa Duch.] cv. ‘SUJATHA’
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 2008-07-29) MOHAMMAD GULAB, OMARI.; Nachegowda, V.
    A study was undertaken during 2007-2008 at the Horticultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, Bangalore to assess the effect of foliar application of TurfVigour and Agriplex at different concentrations on growth, yield, quality and nutrient uptake of strawberry cv. Sujatha. Foliar application of [TurfVigour 10 lit/ha + Agriplex 3.25 lit/ha] at 15 days interval along with recommended dose of fertilizers [40: 100: 150 kg NPK/ac] and organic manure [FYM 25 tonnes + neem cake 500 kg/ac] resulted in maximum plant growth viz., plant height [28.64 cm], plant spread [2184.99 cm2], number of leaves [159.05], index leaf area [40.16 cm2], number of runners per plant [25.94], leaf total chlorophyll [2.42 mg/g] chlorophyll ‘a’ [1.69 mg/g] and chlorophyll ‘b’ [0.73 mg/g] contents, maximum yield attributes viz., early flowering [120.50 days], full flowering [133.00 days], number of flower per plant [25.49] fruit set percentage [85.28%] number of fruits per plant [21.89], number of fruits per bed [414.13], fruit yield per plant [146.75g], fruit yield per bed [3.94 kg], fruit yield per hectare [8.47 t/ha], highest number of large sized A grade fruits [43.80] and fruit character viz., fruit weight [10.80 g], fruit volume [14.92 ml], polar diameter of fruit [4.97 cm], transverse diameter of fruit [3.67 cm], were highest. The quality parameter viz., TSS [8.76 0Brix], total sugars [8.200%], reducing sugars [ 2.367%], non – reducing sugars [5.937%] were maximum and titratable acidity [0.700%] was lowest leaf nutrient content viz., nitrogen [2.95%], phosphorous [0.57%], potassium [2.97%], calcium [4.25%] and micro nutrients such as iron [167.95 ppm], manganese [183.25 ppm], zinc [95.75 ppm], copper [45.75 ppm], were recorded maximum in the above mentioned treatment. Foliar spray of TurfVigour 10 lit/ha and Agriplex 3.25 lit/ha at 15 days interval can be adopted in commercial cultivation of strawberry.
