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.

    STUDEIS ON PROPERTIES OF GROUNDNUT GROWING SOILS OF U.K.P (PHASE -I) COMMAND AREA
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 19-08-98) SANGAYYA, . R. P.; Dasog, Dr.G.S.
    A sutdy was underteken on groundnut growing red & black soils of UKP (Phase-I) command area in North - eastern dry zone of Karnataka to understand the moiphological, physical and chemical properties and to evaluate their suitability for irrigation and fw cultivation of groundnut Five pedons and fifteen surface soil samples derived from granite gneiss were studied and a lime stone derived black soil pedon was also included for comparision. The soils were deep to veiy deep , sandy loam to loamy sand in texture with colour hue of 2.5YR and 5YR with weakly to moderately developed subangular blocky structure. Red soil contained high sand and low silt content Clay movement was apparent in Narayanpur, Kodekal and kakkera pedons where as Huansigi pedon was clayey throughout the depth. The moisture retention at 33kPa and 1500kPa followed the trend of clay in all the pedons. The pH varied from slightly alkaline to moderately alkaline and increased with depth. The exchangeble calcium was the dominant cation followed by magnesium, sodium and potassimn in all the soils. The available nitrogen content ranged from 123 to 296 kg / ha. The available phos phorous and potassium was medium. The uptake of N was more in red soils than black soils but no such difference was noticed for P and K, A high positive correlation between availabile N , P, K and Calcium of soils and tbeir uptake in kemals was observed. The pod and kemal yield was more in red soils than black soils. The soil suitabibty evaluation for groundnut was attempted based on climatic and soil requirements. The overall suitability was rated as suitable (S2) and sligthly suitable (S3) soils for groundnut in respect of red and black soils, respectively.

    possessing properties reflecting the effect of local and zonal soil forming factors. His pupil Sibirtsev and Glinka were other Russian soil scientists who gave notable contribution to soil classification. Classification is the grouping of objects in some orderly and logical manners into compartments. It is based on the properties of objects for the purpose of studying and identifying them. According to Cline (1961) classification systems are abstracts of knowledge and of concepts derived from knowledge, based on the experiences and present biases of man.

    DEVELOPMENT OF DIAGNOSIS AND RECOMMENDATION INTEGRATED SYSTEM (DRIS) NORMS FOR ARABIC A COFFEE (Coffea arabica L.) GROWN IN CHIKMAGALUR DISTRICT OF KARNATAKA STATE
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 14-06-05) NAGARAJ, J S; MANJUNATHAIAH, H M
    The studies on Development of DRIS (Diagnosis and Recommendation Integrated System) norms for arabiea coffee grown in Chikamagalur district of Karnataka state was undertaken during 1999-2000. DRIS norms were derived for different nutrients based on the nutrient content in high yielding estates. DRIS indices and Nutrient Imbalance Index (Nil) were worked out for low yielding estates by following standard

    PHOSPHORUS AND POTASSIUM MANAGEMENT UNDER INTENSIVE RICE CROPPING IN TUNGABHADRA (TBP) IRRIGATION COMMAND
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 14-06-05) MANJUNATHA, HEBBARA; PATIL, S G
    Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of N, P and K levels under intensive rice-rice cropping system on crop performance, P-K availability, P-K uptake, P-K use efficiencies and P-K balance studies at Agriculture Research Station, Gangavati, Karnataka during 2000-01. Application of NPK @ 200:100:75 kg/ha (N:P:K ratio of 2.7:1.3:1.0) to BPT-5204 during kharif and 250:100:75 kg/ha (N:P:K ratio of 3.3:1.3:1.0) for IR-64 during rab/Vsummer was optimum and economically most remunerative. Though, higher NPK levels and ratios resulted in higher rice yields, the N:K ratios remained wider than the desired (< 2.0:1.0)'. The farmers control (230:90:110 kg/ha of NPK) was equally remunerative as above and had more balanced N:P:K ratio (2.1:0.8:1.0) than in the above treatments. The RDF application resulted in sub-optimal rice nutrition resulting in significantly lower yield than the above. Phased application of NPK up to BGF stage to a mid-long duration variety BPT-5204 was beneficial. However, this advantage was not realized during raMsummer with a mid duration variety like IR-64. The economic analysis also revealed similar trend.
