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.

    STUDIES ON YIELD AND INCOME MAXIMISATION IN TREE MULBERRY BASED LEGUME INTERCROPPING SYSTEM
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 2021-12-31) BANU PRIYA, G M; DORESWAMY, C
    “Studies on yield and income maximisation in tree mulberry based legume intercropping system” was carried out during 2020-2021 at KVK, V.C. Farm, Mandya. The results revealed that, higher soil pH (7.51) and EC (0.15 dS m-1) were recorded in sole tree mulberry. Higher organic carbon (0.72 %), available nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium (377.15, 66.17 and 232.06 kg ha-1 , respectively), plant height (261.13 cm), shoot length (170.20 cm), number of shoots plant-1(23.80), number of leaves plant-1 (367.80), leaf yield (71.90 t ha-1year-1), leaf moisture content (75.09 %), moisture retention capacity (83.50 %), total chlorophyll (1.74 mg/g), leaf nitrogen (3.48 %), phosphorous (0.36 %) and potassium (2.14 %) contents were recorded in tree mulberry and black gram intercropping. Significantly maximum larval weight (38.65 g/10 larvae), cocoon weight (25.28 g/10cocoons), pupal weight (19.34 g/10 pupae), shell weight (5.85 g/10 shells), cocoon shell ratio (23.14 %), single cocoon filament length (1268.27 m) and denier (3.47) were observed in FC1 ⅹ FC2 double hybrid silkworm fed with tree mulberry leaves raised with black gram. The least incidence of white muscardine (0.67 %) was observed in tree mulberry intercropped with black gram. Among the intercrops, higher number of pods (90.40) and seed yield (812.12 kg ha-1) were recorded in horse gram and cowpea, respectively. Black gram mulched tree mulberry plot recorded higher growth, yield, quality and rearing performance of silkworms. Maximum net returns (Rs. 3,31,204 ha-1) and B:C ratio (4.68) was recorded in tree mulberry and black gram intercropping.
