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.

    SEED PRODUCTION AND STORAGE TECHNIQUE IN FIELD BEAN (Lablab purpureus L. Sweet.)
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 2014-10-12) VENUGOPALA, N. G.; Rama Prasanna, K. P.
    Study were carried out to know the effect of spacing & fertilizer levels and the effect of flower thinning and position in Hebbal avare-3 on seed yield and quality. Seed storability was studied by using Hebbal avare-3, local avare black and local avare white dressed with seed chemicals and red earth and stored in cloth and polythene (700 gauge) bag for 16 months. Wider spacing 45x30 cm gave higher seed yield/plant (16.81 and 16.67 g), hundred seed weight (25.52 and 22.50 g), germination (91.22 and 91.11%), seedling vigour index (12,255 and 10,868) and higher seed germination (61.12 and 57.81 %) during AA (7 days) and narrow spacing 30x15 cm recorded more plant height (40.88 and 40.17 cm) and seed yield (8.76 and 8.31 q/ha) followed by 45x15 cm. Higher fertilizer level 37.5:75:37.5 kg NPK/ha + 375 g/kg Rhizobium resulted maximum seed yield/plant (15.02 and 14.89 g), hundred seed weight (23.72 and 22.37 g), seed yield (7.52 and 7.44 q/ha), germination (90.00 and 92.89 %) and seedling Vigour index (9,893 and 10,306) during Kharif and Rabi summer, respectively. Removal of 50 per cent of top flowers recorded higher number of pods/plant (23.75 and 23.65), seed yield / plant (19.87 and 19.00 g), seed yield (8.30 and 8.05 q/ha), hundred seed weight (23.63 and 23.58 g), germination (97.00 and 96.00 %), seedling vigour Index (12,707 and 11,616) during kharif and Rabi summer, respectively. Local avare white when treated with thiram @ 2 g kg-1 + bavistin @ 2 g kg-1 and stored in polythene bag (700 guage) recorded higher germination (84.00 %) and seeds in cloth bag gave lower germination (76.00 %) followed by local avare black and Hebbal avare-3 at the end of 16 months of storage.
