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.

    DEVELOPMENT OF IDM MODULE FOR Tomato leaf curl virus AND ALTERNARIA BLIGHT IN TOMATO
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, GKVK, BENGALURU, 2019-08-17) ANUSHA KANCHAN, H. M.
    Tomato leaf curl disease (ToLCD) caused by Tomato leaf curl virus (ToLCV) and alternaria blight caused by Alternaria solani are the most threatening diseases for tomato production worldwide. Among the different plant defence activators and antibiotics tested, foliar application of silicic acid @ 4 mL L-1 and foliar application of LBD-1 @ 2 mL L-1 were found effective in reducing per cent incidence (PI), per cent disease index (PDI) of ToLCD and preference of whiteflies. The incidence and severity of ToLCD were reduced when the treatments were imposed to both source plants and healthy plants than the treatments imposed either to source plants or healthy plants. Amongst the different plant defence activators evaluated against A. solani, potassium phosphite @ 2 g L-1, silicic acid @ 4 mL L-1 and LBD-1 @ 2 mL L-1 were found effective in reducing growth of alternaria in vitro and in vivo. Two modules: M1 (newly designed module) and M2 (recommended package of practice) were evaluated for their field efficacy in reducing the incidence and severity of ToLCD and alternaria blight at two locations viz., Kadur and GKVK, Bengaluru. M1 module was consistently effective in reducing the incidence and severity of ToLCD, number of whiteflies per compound leaf and severity of alternaria blight throughout the study period at both the locations. Module M1 was found superior over M2 by recording highest gross and marketable yield of tomato.
