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.

    PERFORMANCE OF MULBERRY SAPLINGS IN DIFFERENT ROOTING SUBSTRATES
    (2021-01-06) ANUSHA, R.; FATIMA SADATULLA
    Studies on “Performance of mulberry saplings in different rooting substrates” was conducted during the year 2019-20 at Department of sericulture, University of Agricultural Sciences, Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra, Bangalore. The results revealed that, Among different rooting substrates, vermicompost + soil (3:1) exhibited significantly maximum fresh weight of shoot (7.97 g) and dry weight of shoot ((1.42 g), which was on par with vermicompost + FYM +soil (1:1:2) that recorded (7.93 g) and (1.41 g) respectively. More number of leaves (8.17) was observed in vermicompost + soil (3:1) which was on par with vermicompost + soil (1:1) that recorded (8.03) at ninety days after planting. Cocopeat + soil (1:1) resulted in longest root (11.67 cm), maximum fresh weight of the root (1.65 g), dry weight of root (0.78), while maximum rootingpercentage (97.78%) was recorded in cocopeat + soil (1:1), vermicompost + soil (1:3), vermicompost + soil (1:1) and vermicompost + soil (3:1), which were on par with vermicompost +soil (3:1) that recorded (11.37 cm), (1.56 g), (0.71 g) respectively at ninety days after planting. The more net returns for raising mulberry saplings was observed in FYM + soil (1:1) followed by FYM + soil (3:1). C:B ratio was maximum in FYM + soil (1:1) because of low cost of FYM compared to vermicompost. Using vermicompost as a component in rooting media resulted in significantlybetter shoot and root parameters, survivability and faster growth and development of saplings.
