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.

    CHOICE OF DESIRABLE INDICES FOR EFFECTIVE DISCRIMINATION AND SELECTION OF TERMINAL DROUGHT STRESS TOLERANT DOLICHOS BEAN (Lablab purpureus L. Sweet) GENOTYPES
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 2018-08-01) BALARAJU SUSMITHA; Ramesh, S.
    Direct selection under moisture stress free (MSF) environments for high economic product yield (EPY) and for its stability (with minimal reduction in EPY) under moisture stress (MS) is an effective strategy to breed crop plants for drought tolerance (DT). Indices that integrate EPY under MSF and MS have been used for screening and selection of moisture stress tolerant genotypes in several crops. The present study was aimed at identifying desirable indices from among those reported for effective discrimination and selection of terminal moisture stress (TMS) tolerant dolichos bean genotypes. Two experiments were conducted. The 33 genotypes of the first experiment and 13 genotypes of the second experiment were evaluated under two moisture regimes (MR), namely, MSF and TMS environments in separate trials following Randomized Block Design. The genotypes of both the experiments performed differentially across the two MR for both dry pod and seed yield plant-1. Based on the criteria of both correlation and discriminating ability of the indices, only three indices namely, stress tolerance index (STI), modified1 STI (K1STI) and modified2 STI (K2STI) were found desirable to identify TMS tolerant genotypes of both the experiments. Based on rank sum method, involving the three indices F3 selections no. 16 & 27 and landraces (GL 6, GL 66, GL 447 and Kadalavare), HA 12-3 and HA 4 were found TMS tolerant. Thus, the three indices STI, K1STI and K2STI are effective for identifying TMS tolerant genotypes with high grain yield under MSF and TMS environments in dolichos bean.
