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.

    GENETIC VARIABILITY FOR SEED YIELD, DROUGHT RELATED TRAITS AND RESPONSES TO POWDERY MILDEW IN BLACKGRAM (Vigna mungo L. hepper)
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 41839) SHABHI-UZ-ZAHARA; S, Rangaiah
    Availability of genetic variation for productivity per se traits and responses to economically important production constraints in the working germplasm is a prerequisite for breeding crops and blackgram is no exception to this. The total of 116 blackgram germplasm accessions along with two checks were evaluated in augumented design during Kharif 2013 at ‘K’ block, UAS ,Bangalore. Data were collected on 12 quantitative traits and responses to powdery mildew under natural infection. The data were also evaluated for root traits in PVC pipes during 2014 summer. Broad-sense heritability as well as expected GAM was higher for 50 % flowering, SPAD, SLA, plant height, seed yield plant-1, pod yield plant-1, pods plant-1and 100 seed weight .The accessions were grouped into five clusters based on K-means clustering. Quantitative traits mean differences between five clusters were significant for seven out of 12 quantitative traits. The average days to 50 % flowering, pods plant-1, seed yield plant-1, pod yield plant-1 and SLA were highest among the accessions included in (II and V) clusters. The accessions IC-436811, IC-436922, IC-436772 and AKU-7-1 were early to flowering and LBG-685, IC-436784, IC-436753, IC-282006 and AC.43 manifested high seed yield potential. K-5-572 and LBG-645 genotypes were found highly resistant to powdery mildew. The accessions differed significantly for all the root traits and could be grouped into five clusters based on K-means clustering. The root traits means and variances of accessions included in the five clusters differed significantly The genotype LBG-685 manifested higher grain yield coupled with maximum root length.
