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.

    STANDARDIZATION OF ROOTING MEDIA FOR PRODUCTION OF WHEAT GRASS (Triticum aestivum and Triticum durum)
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 2010-08-05) RAJASHEKHAR, D. M.; VASUNDHARA, M.
    The present study was carried out in the Departmen t of Horticulture UAS GKVK, Bangalore during December 2009 to April2010. Eight varieties (Vi:DWR-162, V2:DWR-195, V3:DWR-185, V4:DWR 1006,Vs-UAS-415,V6-DWR-2006, V7-Bejga yellow, Vs-Local variety) and different media Mi-vermiculite, M2-perlite, M3-cocopeat, M4- cocopeat+ vermiculite+ perlite, Ms-red soil +sand + vermicompost, M6-sand were evaluated with reference to growth and quality parameters. Out of the different media, maximum germination(87.46%), plant height (9.57 cm, 10.58 cm, 12.29 cm) a t 5th,7th, and 10th DAS respectively, was recorded in M3. Whereas, quality parameters like chlorophyll, carotene, TSS, ascorbic acid, protein, c rude fibre, fat, ash, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and iron content was found to be maximum in M3 when compared to control M6. In case of varieties, plant height at 5th, 7th, and 10th DAS was maximum in V7 of Triticum durum. Fresh and dry weight of grass was maximum in V3 of Triticum durum. However, quality parameters like chlorophyll, (3-carotene was high in V3 of Triticum durum. While on fresh and dry weight basis, crude fibre, fat, sodium, an d iron was maximum in V6 of Triticum durum. Whereas, a shand calcium content was maximum in V3 of Triticum durum. However, maximum potassium and magnesium co n ten t was recorded in Vs and V4 respectively. Media and varietal interaction, showed th a t p lan t height was maximum in M3V7 a t 5th, 7th, an d 10th DAS. While fresh and dry weight of grass was maximum in M3V3. However, M3V6 recorded maximum chlorophyll, [3- carotene, ascorbic acid, TSS when compared to control. On fresh and dry weight b a sis protein, crude fibre, fat, ash, calcium, sodium, iron co n ten t was maximum in M3V6. While potassium and magnesium co n ten t were maximum in M3V5 an d M3V4 respectively. The maximum netreturns and benefit: cost ratio was obtained in M3V3. Hence it can be concluded that cocopeat is ideal for growing Triticum durum varieties viz V3 (DWR-185) an d V6 (DWR-2006) for wheat grass production.
