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.

    STUDIES ON THE INFLUENCE OF ORGANIC MANURES AND BIO-FERTILIZERS ON PLANT GROWTH, YIELD, QUALITY AND STORAGE OF DRAGON FRUIT [Hylocereus undatus (Haworth) Britton & Rose and Hylocereus polyrhizus (F. A. C. Weber) Britton & Rose]

    An experiment was conducted to study the influence of organic manures and bio-fertilizers on plant growth, yield, quality and storage of dragon fruit during he ears 2019 to 2021. The experiment consisted of thirteen treatments and replicated thrice using randomized complete block design (RCBD). The pooled data rom two successive years for red fleshed dragon fruit revealed that treatment T13 comprising of 100 per cent N through vermicompost + PSB at 10 kg ha-1+ AM at 10 kg ha-1 had significantly greater impact on parameters like plant height (409.85 cm), number of branches per plant (9.43), plant spread in N-S 180.96 cm), E-W (168.33 cm) directions, days to first flower open (418.74 days), duration of flowering (9.61 hours), length of the fruit (9.68 cm), diameter of ruit (9.37 cm), weight of the fruit (497.91 gm), volume of the fruit (420.10 cc), number of fruits per plant (37.50), fruit yield (93.42 t ha-1), TSS (11.56˚B), Vit-C 9.57 mg 100g-1), acidity (0.36 %), shelf life (9.71 days) having benefit cost ratio of 3.81 and maximum overall acceptability score was recorded in treatment 5 3.34). White fleshed type dragon fruit also showed similar results and recorded superior values for plant height (396.73 cm), number of branches per plant (9.32), plant spread in N-S (175.00 cm), E-W (170.16 cm) directions, days to first flower open (441.77 days), maximum duration of flowering (9.32 hours), ength of the fruit (9.55 cm), diameter of fruit (8.74 cm), weight of the fruit (430.70 gm), volume of the fruit (415.41 cc), number of fruits per plant (33.42), fruit ield (72.26 t ha-1), TSS (10.35˚B), Vit-C (7.39 mg 100g-1), acidity (0.38 %), shelf life (9.70 days) with benefit cost ratio of 3.78 and maximum overall cceptability score of 3.95 was given to treatment T12.

    An experiment was conducted to study the influence of organic manures and bio-fertilizers on plant growth, yield, quality and storage of dragon fruit during the years 2019 to 2021. The experiment consisted of thirteen treatments and replicated thrice using randomized complete block design (RCBD). The pooled data from two successive years for red fleshed dragon fruit revealed that treatment T13 comprising of 100 per cent N through vermicompost + PSB at 10 kg ha-1+ VAM at 10 kg ha-1 had significantly greater impact on parameters like plant height (409.85 cm), number of branches per plant (9.43), plant spread in N-S (180.96 cm), E-W (168.33 cm) directions, days to first flower open (418.74 days), duration of flowering (9.61 hours), length of the fruit (9.68 cm), diameter of fruit (9.37 cm), weight of the fruit (497.91 gm), volume of the fruit (420.10 cc), number of fruits per plant (37.50), fruit yield (93.42 t ha-1), TSS (11.56˚B), Vit-C (9.57 mg 100g-1), acidity (0.36 %), shelf life (9.71 days) having benefit cost ratio of 3.81 and maximum overall acceptability score was recorded in treatment T5 (3.34).
