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.

    IMPROVEMENT STUDIES IN Garcinia Indica Cholsy.
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 2001-08-13) KALLAJE, RAJESH S.; Devar, Prof. K. V.
    The present study was carried out for the survey, identification and documentation of candidate trees, assessment of the extent of variability among quantitative characters, character association studies among candidate trees and the study of species Interaction with edaphio and geo-ciimatic factors, i he study was taken up in five ranges and from each range, ten trees were selected and from each tree, 50 fruits were drawn at random and variability parameters were studied for various fruit and seed traits, in addition to the morphometric characters. Among the morphometric characters, clear bole showed high co-efficient of va^abi!!^/ followed by crown depth, while fruit yield per tree showed the least co-efficient of variability. The analysis of variability indicated that the growth of the candidate trees was superior among the trees of Yellapur, Sirsi and Kumta in that order. The estimates of variability for different morphometric, fruit and seed parameters indicated a wide array of variation. Broad sense heritabilih/ of 0,847 for tree DBH was found to be highest among the tree parameters while fruit diameter (0.902) and seed thickness (0 750) recorded the highest values for fruit and seed parameters respectively. In case of genetic gain tree DBH (37,705 %), seed and pulp weight (32.666 %) and fresh seed weight (10.416 %) recorded high values. The correlation study for these parameters showed a positive and significant correlation between crown diameter and fruit yield. All the fruit traits showed positive and significant correlation with altitude while the fruit yield exhibited a negative association. Fruit yield showed a positive relation with mean annual rainfall (MAR) while fruit weight and fruit size showed negative associations. The present study indicates that, where fruit yield and fruit size are the primary criteria for the selection of candidate trees it is better to go for the trees in moist-deciduous forests.
