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 PLANT POPULATION, NUTRITION, PINCHING AND GROWTH REGULATORS ON PLANT GROWTH, SEED YIELD AND QUALITY OF AFRICAN MARIGOLD (Tagetes erecta L.)
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2007-09-01) SUNITHA H. M.; RAVI HUNJE
    Two field experiments were conducted to study the influence of plant population, nutrition, pinching and growth regulators on plant growth, seed yield and quality of African marigold at Water and Land Use Management Institute (WALMl) Farm, Dharwad during 2004-05 and Laboratory studies were carried out at National Seed Project, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad. The application of vermicompost as 50% RDN along with 50% RDF recorded significantly higher plant height (100.32 cm), number of primary branches per plant (13.13), number of flowers per plant (66.19), seed yield per plant (18.65 g) and seed yield per ha (499.05 kg) and also recorded higher 1000 seed weight (3.36 g), germination percentage (89.10), field emergence percentage (81.48), root length (6.22 cm), shoot length (5.55 cm), seedling dry weight (11.53 mg) and vigour index (1047) compared to application of recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF). While wider spacing of 60 X 60 cm recorded more number of primary branches per plant (11.59), number of flowers per plant (59.65), seed yield per plant (15.37 g) compared to closer spacing of 60 x 40 cm. However seed yield per ha (453.47 kg) was significantly higher at closer spacing of 60 x 40 cm. Significantly higher plant height (95.93 cm) was recorded in unpinched plants, while pinched plants recorded significantly higher number of primary branches per plant (12.00), number of flowers per plant (61.88), seed yield per plant (18.22 g) and seed yield per ha (473.71 kg). Among the growth regulator, GA3 200 ppm spray recorded significantly higher plant height (101.21 cm), number of primary branches per plant (14.47), number of flowers per plants (68.66), seed yield per plant (20.63 g) and seed yield per ha (531.54 kg) and also recorded significantly higher 1000 seed weight (3.34 g), germination percentage (90.13), field emergence percentage (77.10), root length (6.34 cm), shoot length (5.41 cm), seedling dry weight (11.44 mg) and vigour index (1059) compared to ethrel 750 ppm.

    EFFECT OF STORAGE CONDITIONS, PACKING MATERIAL AND SEED TREATMENT ON VIABILITY AND VIGOUR OF ONION SEEDS
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2007-01-04) NAGAVENI, , P.K.; G.H RAVIKUMAR
    An investigation was undertaken to know the storability of onion seeds under two storage conditions, with three packing material and three seed treatments. Onion seeds with 5.9 percent initial moisture content were treated with bavistin(2g/kg), neem leaf powder(10g/kg) and a control were packed in cloth bag, polythenebag(700guage), aluminum foil and stored under ambient and cold storage condition. The seeds stored under cold storage condition recorded higher germination, rate of germination, seedling dry weight, vigour index, field emergence, moisture content and lower electrical conductivity (74.1%,17.86,15.18mg,1038,59.90%,9.10%and0.545dSm"' respectively) compared to the seeds stored under ambient condition (50.5%,11.96,14.23mg,641,38.10%, 8.43%,0.558dSm'', respectively) at the end of 12months of storage. Seeds packed in 700guage polythene bag recorded higher germination, rate of germination, seedling diy weight, vigour index, field emergence and lower moisture content and EC(70.4%,16.53,17.77mg,1005,59.00%,5.89%,0.529dSm'' respectively) compared to seeds stored in cloth bag (55.1%,14.89,8.88mg,921,42.40%,12.90%,0.564dSm*', respectively) and was followed by aluminum foil at the end of lOmonths of storage.

    EFFECT OF SEED TREATMENT AND FOLIAR SPRAY WITH INSECTICIDES AND NEEM PRODUCTS ON CROP GROWTH, SEED YIELD AND QUALITY IN OKRA [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2007-01-04) PRAVEEN, K. S.; A. S. SAJAN
    A field and laboratory experiment was conducted during rabi season 2004 at Main Agricultural Research Station and Department of Seed Science and Technology, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad to study the effect of seed treatment and foliar spray with insecticides and neem products on crop growth, seed yield and quality in okra. The results revealed that, seed treatment with imidacloprid (12 ml/kg) recorded lower incidence of leaf hoppers, in turn resulted in significantly higher plant height (62.22 cm), number of, leaves (23.61), number of fruits (6.66/plant), fruit length (14.85 cm), dry fruit weight (7.95 g) and seed yield (642.69 kg/ha). Among the foliar sprays, spray with imidacloprid (0.25 ml/It) resulted in lower incidence of leaf hoppers, higher plant height (60.78 cm) and number of leaves (22.91). However, foliar spray with fenvalerate (0.5 ml/It) recorded significantly higher number of fruits (6.68/plant), dry fruit weight (7.04 g), lower per cent fruit damage (52.74), seed damage (17.98%), higher hundred seed weight (4.55 g) and seed yield (799.23 kg/ha). Further, it also recorded significantly higher seed quality parameters viz., germination percentage (85.79), shoot length (26.02 cm), root length (10.36 cm) and seedling vigour index (3121).

    EFFECT OF GRADING METHODS, FUNGICIDES AND POLYMER COATING ON STORABILITV OF SOYBEAN [Glycine max (L.) Merrill]
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2007-01-03) IMRAN, BAIG; N. K. BIRADARX, (N. K. BIRADAR PATIL)
    Soybean is important oilseed and pulse crop grown throughout India and world. Proper grading of seeds by appropriate graders and sieves depending upon varieties is important to enhance seed quality and storability. Efficiency of seed treating chemicals in storage will be enhanced by polymer coating, which holds the chemical intact and prevents loss during storage. Among four different methods studied, seeds graded by hand cleaning recorded significantly higher seed quality parameters throughout the storage period followed by grader 1 (model DELUX of agrosaw). As hand cleaning is time consuming and costlier grading of seeds by grader I, which caused less damage to seeds found to be better for processing of soybean seeds. The variety JS-9305 revealed better seed quality parameters during 10 months of storage.

    INFLUENCE OF INTEGRATED PLANT NUTRITION ON CROP GROWTH, SEED YIELD AND QUALITY IN LINSEED (Linum usitatissimum) Cv. S-36
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2007-01-03) RAMESH, Y. BHOVI; M. B. KURDIKERI
    The field experiments were conducted at the Main Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, during rabi season 2004, to study the influence of integrated plant nutrition on crop growth, seed yield and quality in linseed. The plant nutrition study consisting 14 treatment combinations of phosphorous, P-solubilizer and organic manures with control was laid out in Randomised Block Design with three replications. The results indicated that significantly higher growth and yield components viz., number of capsules per plant (30.00), number of seeds per capsule (7.52), seed yield per plant (1.84 g), seed yield per ha (635 kg/ha) and 1000 seed weight (7.9 g) were recorded with combined application of phosphorous (30 kg/ha), P-solubilizer (200 g/acre of seeds) and vermicompost (2.5 t/ha) besides higher seed quality parameters compared to other treatments.
