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.

    EFFECT OF PLANTING GEOMETRY AND NUTRITION ON PLANT GROWTH, SEED YIELD AND QUALITY OF OKRA (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench)
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 2018-08-01) PRUTHVISHREE, C.; PARAMESH, R.
    The field and laboratory experiments were conducted to study the effect of planting geometry and nutrition on plant growth, seed yield and quality of okra at NSP, UAS, Bangalore. The experiment was laid out in FRCBD design with 12 treatment combinations replicated thrice which includes three different planting geometry S0 (60 × 45 cm), S1 (60 × 30 cm) and S2 (60 × 60 cm), four levels of nutrients N0 (100 % RDF), N1 (125 % RDF), N2 (150 % RDF) and N3 (200 % RDF) (RDF : 156.25: 93.75: 78.75 kg NPK ha-1). Results revealed that S2 and N1 are superior in plant growth and seed yield attributes viz., plant height (171.79 cm), number of leaves (28.23), number of branches (3.90), internodal length (10.80 cm) and chlorophyll content (60.83 SPAD unit), maximum seed yield plant-1 (69.06 g), seed yield plot-1 (1115.45 g) and seed yield ha-1 (19.36 q) registered and highest seed quality parameters documented under S2N1 such as germination (89.50 %), mean seedling length (35.65 cm), mean seedling dry weight (57.22 mg), seedling vigour index-I (3190) and II (5121) and 100-seed weight (8.60 g). Seed quality was evaluated based on fruit position with FCRD design replicated thrice consisting of three fruit position top (P1), middle (P2) and bottom (P3). It was found that bottom fruits (P3) produced highest quality seeds with maximum germination (88.61 %), mean seedling length (32.77 cm), mean seedling dry weight (50.32 g), seedling vigour index-I (2927) and II (4474), 100-seed weight (7.53 g) and total dehydrogenase activity (2.80), while electrical conductivity (674 μScm-1) of seed leachates recorded minimum in seeds from bottom fruits of okra.
