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 AND GENETICS OF QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITY CHARACTERS IN GREEN CHILLI (Capsicum annuum L.) GENOTYPES
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, DHARWAD, 1997) N, BASAVARA]A; N C, HULAMANI
    Studies on variability, path coefficient analysis, correlation, heterosis, combining ability and fruit bearing pattern were studied at Agricultural Research Station, Hanumanamatti, of University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during Kharif 1993-94 and 1995. Eighty eight genotypes were tested for range of variability and the results revealed significant differences for all the 17 characters studied. The phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation were low for plant spread, pedicel length, days to 50 per cent flowering and stern diameter. Yield per plant recorded low GCV ( 15.32 % ). Remaining characters showed moderate phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation. Heritability estimates were high for days to 50 flowering (88.9 %), fruit length (88.76 %), seed weight (87.25 %), fruit weight (86.76 %), pericarp weight (86.63 %), plant height ( 83.28 %) and number of seeds per fruit ( 83.07 %) indicating moderate to high response to selection for these attributes. Fruit yield per plant showed positive and significant genotypic association with stern height, stern diameter, secondary branches per plant and plant spread. Genotypic path analysis for green fruit yield per plant revealed that number of seeds per fruit was the major component contributing for the yield. It showed high direct effect (0.8864) and also indirect effect through pericarp weight and plant height. The studies on combining ability and heterosis revealed prepondarance of non additive gene action for most of the characters as indicated by higher magnitude of SCA variance han GCA variance. Crosses showing useful significant heterosis over better parent for yield per plant were Sindhur x SIC-10-166b, Sindhur x G-3, Sindhur x Bydagi and 90/MC-11 X SIC-10-166b. The overall assessment of gca effects of the parents revealed that none of the parents were the best general combiner for all the characters. However, the female line Sindhur was good general combiner for plant height, fruit length, fruit weight and pericarp weight. Among the 12 male lines SIC-1 0-159 was good general combiner for plant height, number of primary and secondary branches per plant and other fruit characters. The parent SIC-I 0-166b had positive values of gca effects for yield in addition to fruit weight and pericarp weight. These parents would be of great practical utility in any breeding programme in evolving high yielding varieties with desirable characters for green chillies. The study on fruit bearing pattern in chilli revealed that early borne flowers in first flush had better setting opportunity than the flowers borne latter .

    GENETIC ANALYSIS AND ECONOMIC USAGE OF COMPOUND INFLORESCENCE IN TOMATO
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, DHARWAD, 1997) PATIL, GIRISH S; B B, MADALAGERI
    Four experiments were undertaken in tomato during the year 1995-97 on characterization of compound inflorescence genotypes, inheritance of compound inflorescence (Cl), heterosis and combining ability, isolation of segregants suited to fresh market or processing, at the College of Agriculture, Dharwad. Studies on characterization revealed that CI of all the five genotypes had the basic structure of compound dichasium while, simple inflorescence (SI) genotypes had unbranched monochasium. Further, two CI phenotypes were observed for F owering habits: terminal flowering and non- terminal flowering. Characterization of compound inflorescence vs. simple inflorescence indicated higher flower number in CI genotypes. Higher flower number (166) in CC-NT was associated with non-terminal flowering habit. Inheritance of basic structure of inflorescence was controlled by recessive epistasis (9:3:4 ratio of unbranched monochasium: compound monochasium: compound dichasium) , type of inflorescence by monogene (3: 1 ratio of SI:CI) and flowering habit also by monogene (3: 1 ratio of terminal flowering : non-terminal flowering). Additive variance was higher than dominance variance for seventeen of the nineteen characters indicating preponderance of additivity in these cases. For number of fruits per plant and number of fruits per truss dominance variance was higher than additive variance thus evidencing the dominant role of non additively. Out of 28 hybrids, there were two significantly positive heterotic hybrids namely SP 28-2-2 X CC-SF and SP 28-2-2 X CC-BF over mid parent/ best parent and three L-15 X SP 28-2 2, SP 28-2-2 X CC-SF and SP 28-2-2 X CC-BF over commercial check-Punjab Chhuhara, worth of commercial exploiltation. When subjected F2 population for selection to processing requirements L-15 X CC-OF/96/13-8 and L-15 X SP 28-2-2(96/14-7) were found worth while for commercial exploitation (need to be developed into pure lines). But these require manual harvesting. However, suitability to mechanical harvesting and having desirable processing traits point out to SP 28-2-2 X CC-BF/96/21/5 as a best segregant. Alternatively, suitability to fresh market indicated CC-SF X CC-BF/96/3-8 as a best segregant worth of commercial exploitation.
