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.

    STUDIES ON INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF CKARCOAL ROT OF MAIZE {Zea mays L.) CAUSED BY Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi.) Goid. WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO BIOLOGIC.^L CONTROL M. JOHN SUDHAKAR 2002 ABSTRACT M.R. KACIL\PUR Major Ad\isor Maize charcoal rot caused by Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi.) Goid. is important since it plays major role in the loss of yield. Different aspects of charcoal rot management were carried out in the present mvestigation. Macrophomina phaseolina was isolated from infected maize stalk. The fungus attained maximum growth on 12'^ day of incubation. Aspergillus spp., Trichoderma harzianum, Pseudomonas spp., Bacillus spp. were isolated from maize rhizosphere soil, T. viride (1), T. koningU and T. harzianum (1) were effective in inhibiting the growth of M. phaseolina in dual culture. Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp., were effective against M. phaseolina by producing non-volatile antibiotics. T. viride (1), T. koningii and T. harzianum (1) were effective against M. phaseolina by producing volatile antibiotics. Captan, 2, 4-D, endosulfan and captan + carbofuran were found compatible with T. viride and T. harzianum. Garlic clove extract was found effective in inhibiting growth of M. phaseolina in vitro at all three concentrations evaluated. Hexaconazole, SAAF and triadimefon were found very effective against M. phaseolina at all three concentrations evaluated. Farm yard manure, biogas sluny and wheat straw were found effective as substrates against T. viride (1). Out of twenty-nine genotypes screened, only eight were susceptible, remaining all showed moderately resistant reaction. DMH-2 recorded lowest grade of charcoal rot. Management studies in both pot culture and field revealed that, no considerable decrease in bioagent population upto 90 days after augmentation, but later on decrease was observed. Moderately resistant genotype, farm yard manure application along with T. viride (1) as seed treatment and also as soil application, were found effective in reducing charcoal rot parameters as well as increasing \ield parameters.
