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 QUALITY AND STORABILITY STUDIES IN CHILLI (Capsicum annuum L.)
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 1998-08-19) PATIL, KOTREPPAGOUDA N.; NAGARAJA, A.
    Experiments were conducted on chilli varieties Dyavanoor local and Byadagi kaddi at the main research station, Univeisity of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during kharif 1996 to investigate the effect of fungicidal sprays on field performance, fruit yield and seed quality. In the laboratory, effect of containers, seed dressing fungicides and methods of storage on seed storability were looked into. The chilli varieties exhibited significant differences in dieback and fruit rot incidence. Dyavanoor local sprayed t^vice with Chlorothalonil 0.1 per cent at 15 days interval showed low incidence of die back and fruit rot incidence while Byadagi kaddi produced higher fruit yields. Seed quality parameters such as 100 seed weight, germination, shoot and root length, seedling diy weight, vigour and field emergence were highest in the variety Byadagi kaddi sprayed twice with Chlorothalonil coupled with the Suit picked at 145 days after planting. With respect to storability over a period of six months, there was a fair degree of preservation of seed quality in seeds treated with Captan 2g per kg and stored in polythene bag. However, irrespective of fungicides, containers and methods of storage, the seed quality of both the varieties dccreased while fungal colonization increased with the increased period of storage. The highest quality was realized from the seeds of variety Byadagi kaddi which were stored as fruits in polythene bag.

    EFFECT OF SEED COLOURING ON FIELD PERFORMANCE AND SEED STORABILITY IN HYBRID MAIZE
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 1998-08-19) VISHWA PRASAD, M.; KURDIKERI, Dr. M.B.
    An investigation was carriedout to study the effect of seed colouring on field performance and seed storability in hybrid maize during 1996-97 at Department of Seed Science and Technology, U.A.S., Dharwad. Seeds were treated with.four dyes viz., Amaranthus red, Sunset yellow, Methylene blue and Potassium permanganate each at three concentrations of 0.0, 0,5 and 1.0 per cent in combination with or without fungicide and seeds were stored for 16 months in cloth bag under ambient conditions. Throughout storage period, seeds treated with Amaranthus red and Sunset yellow showed higher germination percentage and vigour index comparedbMethyl blue while seeds treated with Potassium permanganate resulted in drastic reduction of germination and vigour index. Potassium permanganate treated seeds exhibited higher EC values throughout the storage over other dyes. The seed moisture content fluctuated concomitantly with the change in relative humidity and temperature of storage atmosphere. Among dyes, seed treatment with Amaranthus red offered resistance to insect infestation, while potassium permanganate showed least infection of storage fungi during storage^. The germination percentage and vigour index was maximum at 0.5 per cent concentration of dyes, followed by 1.0 per cent and minimum in control. Throughout the storage period, the EC of seed leachate was more in the seeds treated at higher concentration of dyes, while the percentage of insect infestation and occurence of fungi were less at higher concentration. The fungicide treated seeds recorded higher germination percentage and vigour index and less EC, insect infestation and storage fungi infection throughout the storage. The field performance studies with dye treated seeds indicated that there was no adverse effect on field emergence, growth parameters and yield and yield attributes in maize.
