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.

ARKA RAKSHAK(UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2015-08-20) SIDDALING P., NAGONI; Krishna Manohar, RAn investigation on the effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) var. Arka Rakshak was carried out during 2013-14 at Precision Farming Development Centre (PFDC), Department of Horticulture, University of Agricultural Sciences, Gandhi Krishi Viganana Kendra, Bengaluru. The study consisting of 15 treatments with and without bio-fertilizers along with Recommended Dose of Nutrient (RDF 250 kg each of NPK ha-1) with 3 replications was laid out in RCBD. The growth parameters viz., plant height (114.40, 118.30 and 125.20 cm) and number of branches (12.20, 15.20 and 18.30) was highest in combined application of 75 per cent RDF + Azotobacter + Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacterium + VAM (T15) at 45, 90 and 135 days after transplanting respectively. The yield, economics and quality characters viz., fruit weight (70 g), number of fruits per plant (80), fruit yield per plant and fruit yield ha-1 (7.56 kg and 134.39 t ha-1) benefit : cost ratio (1:2.36), firmness of fruit (3.93 kg/cm2), TSS (4.85 0B), ascorbic acid (15.68 mg/100 g), lycopene content (6.51 mg/100 g) and shelf life (19.60 days at 1% polyethylene cover) were maximum with the same treatment combination (T15). All the growth, yield and quality characters were lowest in the treatment T1 i.e. RDF (250 kg each of NPK ha-1). By the study it can be concluded that the Integrated approach with both inorganic and bio-fertilizers is economically viable with regard to growth, yield, and quality of tomato compared to application of RDF alone.ThesisItem Open Access INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT WITH DRIP IRRIGATION AND PLASTICS MULCHING IN CHRYSANTHEMUM (Chrysanthemum morifolium) cv. CHANDINI(UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2015-07-20) SACHIN, MAGENNAVAR; JAYAPRASAD, K. V.A field experiment was conducted atthe Precision Farming Development Centre, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru, during kharif season 2014 on “Integrated nutrient management with drip irrigation and plastics mulching in chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium L.) cv. Chandini”. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with 3 replications and 13 treatment combinations comprising of inorganic fertilizers, organic manures and biofertilizers. The results of the experiment indicated that treatment 11 (75% RDF+VC+VAM) recorded significantly higher growth, flowering and quality parameters over control. Maximum highest plant height (85.93 cm), number of lateral branches (116.03), number of leaves (720.00), plant spread in bothN-S X E-W direction (4096.68cm2), and yield attributes such asearly flower bud initiation (104.68 days), 50 per cent flowering (141.38 days), days to complete flowering (163.70 days), number of flowers per plant (184.32), number of flower per m2(921.61), flower diameter (4.10 cm), shelf life (3.96 days), estimated yield of flowers per plant (295.83 g/plant), yield of flowers per sq m (1.67 kg/sq m), yield of flowers per ha (16.71 tons/ha). Significantly higher available major nutrients (nitrogen) was recorded in treatment receiving (205.72 kg/ha) 100 per cent of RDF + Azo + VC + VAM (T12) and other available major nutrients like phosphorus (34.80 kg/ha) and potassium (280.68 kg/ha) was recorded in treatment receiving (T11) Azo + VC + 75 per cent recommended NPK. The economic analysis clearly indicated that net returns/ha and B:C ratio was highest in the plots treated with (T11) Azo+ VC + 75 per cent recommended NPK (Rs. 7,60,002 and 2.32 respectively) and this finding can be used in making chrysanthemum production more profitable.ThesisItem Open Access STUDY OF ADAPTABILITY PATTERNS OF SELECTED HYBRIDS IN CHILLI (Capsicum annum L.)(UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2015-07-10) RAGHAVENDRA, HADORA; Venkatachalapathy, kAn investigation was carried out at three environments viz., Balajigapade - Chikkaballapur (E1), Department of Horticulture GKVK, UAS, Bengaluru (E2) and Kblock, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding GKVK, UAS, Bengaluru (E3) during kharif 2014-15 to identify promising hybrids for yield and its components and to assess stability pattern of the hybrids. 25 test hybrids were evaluated along with three checks (KBCH-1, Arka Meghana and Arka Haritha) in a Randomized Complete Block Design with two réplications. Among the three environments E3 was found to be the most suitable location in the expression most of all the characters. Significance of variance due to hybrid X environment (linear) was evident for green fruit yield/plant. Variance due to environment (linear) was highly significant for all the traits across three environments indicating considerable differences among environments and their predominant effect in the expression of all the traits. The hybrid CMS10A X Byadgi-Kaddi exhibited higher mean with unit regression co-efficient and non-significant S2di different from zero indicating specifically adapted to unfavourable environment for average fruit weight and fruit width. The hybrids CMS10A X LCA-206 and CMS10A × Gouribidanur were found specifically adopted to favourable environments for green fruit yield, red fruit yield, average fruits/plant and average fruit length.ThesisItem Open Access STANDARDISATION OF INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT IN MARIGOLD (Tagetes erecta L.) cv. PUSA BASANTI GAINDA(UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2015-07-10) RAMESH, KOLI; JAYANTHI, R.A field experiment was conducted at the Floriculture unit of Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru, during kharif 2014 on “Standardization of Integrated Nutrient Management in African marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) cv. Pusa Basanti Gainda”. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with 3 replications and 9 treatments. The results of the experiment indicated that treatment 8 (RDF+ FYM+ Arka Microbial Consortium + VAM + Micro nutrient foliar spray) and treatment 9 (75 per cent RDF+ FYM+ Arka Microbial Consortium + VAM + Micro nutrient foliar spray) were found to be on par and recorded significantly higher growth, flowering and quality parameters over control. Maximum plant height (104.6), number of branches (13.53), plant spread in both E-W and N-S direction (52.07 and 50.70 cm respectively), early flower bud initiation (31.27 days), 50 per cent flowering (58.70 days),longer flowering duration (53.87 days), number of flowers per plant (47.63), number of flower per m2 (95.26), number of flowers per plot (571.56), flower diameter (6.13cm), individual flower weight (9.92 g), fresh weight of ten flowers (98.60 g), shelf life (9.70 days), dry weight of ten flowers (13 mg), estimated flower yield (9.60 ton ha-1), thousand seed weight (3 g), seed yield per plot (225 g) and xanthophyll yield (8.3 g kg-1) was recorded in treatment-8 which was on par with the treatment-9. Significantly higher available nutrients in soil was recorded in T8 viz., nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (162.00, 45.01and 302.20 kg/ha, respectively) (Calcium and Magnesium) (3.80 and 0.78 cmol p+ kg-1 respectively), and Zinc, Copper, Iron and Manganese (3.70, 2.35, 16.5, 17.5 g per kg, respectively). Similarly in plant and flower (at second picinking) samples significantly higher per cent of nitrogen (81.26 kg/ha and 11.50 % respectively), phosphorus (34.83 kg/ha and 12.06 % respectively), potassium (163.16 kg/ha and 5.90 % respectively), Calcium (96.54 kg ha-1 and 13.8 % respectively) and Magnesium (60.34 kg ha-1 and 1.10% respectively), Zinc (482.03 g ha-1 and 92.0 ppm respectively), Copper (84.07 g ha-1and 16.4 ppm respectively), Iron (1284.33 g ha-1 and 296.9 ppm respectively) and Manganese (261 g ha-1 and 32.5 ppm, respectively) was recorded in the same treatment combination (T8) which was followed by the treatment T9. However, the economic analysis clearly indicated that net returns ha-1 (Rs. 1, 91,003) and BC ratio (2.98) was highest in treatment T9 followed by T8 with net return of Rs. 1,64,617 ha-1 and with T6 with BC ratio of 2.64.
