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.

    Biochemical and histochemical analysis of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) inoculated with mycorrhiza from different crop management systems
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 2008-08-08) RAJESH, K. V.; SURESH, C. K.
    The investigation was carried out to study the biochemical, histochemical analysis of Piper nigrum L. and Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench inoculated with mycorrhiza from different crop management systems. Black pepper and sorghum were inoculated with mycorrhiza from the organic soil, inorganic soil, natural soil, control and Glomus fasciculatum. There were three experiments in which the first experiment was on growth response of black pepper to the inoculation of mycorrhiza from different crop management systems. In second experiment black pepper and sorghum were inoculated with mycorrhiza from different crop management systems and in third experiment sorghum was inoculated with mycorrhiza from different crop management systems. Histochemical analysis of these crop plants were carried out to study the difference in the accumulation of the polysaccharides, proteins and nucleic acids in leaf tissues of control and mycorrhiza inoculated plants. Plants inoculated with Glomus fasciculatum showed highest rooting percentage, percent root colonization, phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen content. Plants inoculated with Glomus fasciculatum recorded increased biomass than control. A significant difference in the accumulation of polysaccharides, proteins and nucleic acid content was observed in leaf sample of the plant inoculated with Glomus fasciculatum.
