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.

    INFLUENCE OF ORGANIC AND INORGANIC NUTRIENTS ON CROP GROWTH, SEED YIELD AND QUALITY OF VEGETABLE SOYBEAN (Glycine max (L.) MERRILL) cv. KARUNE
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 10-08-12) MARUTHI, J B; PARAMESH, R
    A field and laboratory experiments were conducted at plot E-6 and department of Seed Science and Technology, UAS, GKVK, Bangalore, respectively during kharif 2011-12 to study the influence of organic and inorganic nutrients on crop growth, seed yield and quality of vegetable soybean cv.Karune. The experiment consisted of twelve treatments and three replications. The results revealed that application of 50% recommended dose of NPK (15:40:18.75 kg/ha) + 50% recommended dose of FYM (5 t ha⁻¹) + 50% Vermicompost (2 t ha⁻¹) + Brady rhizobium (250 g haˉ¹) + Bacillus megaterium (250 g haˉ¹) recorded significantly higher number of leaves plant-1 (34.20), branches plant-1 (3.00), clusters plant-1(10.93), pods plant-1 (18.40), pod weight-1 (15.38 g), number of seeds pod-1 (2.07) and seed yield ha-1 (28.65 q/ha) compared to control and other treatments. The seed quality parameters viz., seed index (35.51g), TDH (4.80), germination (92.00 %), seedling length (30.69 cm), seedling vigour index I and II (2820 and 836), protein content (36.30%) and field emergence (89.33 %) were significantly higher with the recommended dose of NPK (30:80:37.5 kg/ha) + Recommended dose of FYM (10 t ha⁻¹) + Brady rhizobium (250 g haˉ¹) + Bacillus megaterium (250 g haˉ¹) over control and other treatments. In accelerated ageing studies, the same treatment recorded higher seed quality parameters pertaining germination (70.83 %), seedling vigour index I & II (1388 and 485) and lower EC of seed leachate (1.80 mScm-1) at the end of six days of ageing period.
