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.

RESPONSE OF CORN TO DIFFERENT SEQUENCE OF WATER STRESS AS MEASURED BY EVAPOTRANSPIRATION DEFICITS
(UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, BANGALORE, 1963) MIRSRA, RAM DEO; HAGAN, ROBERT M; HENDERSON, DELBERT W; PRUITT, WILLIAM O
Increased demands by engineer and economist for informs ion pertaining to agricultural production with different levels of water supply call for intensified efforts to develop crop water production functions. Their importance is increasingly recognized, especially in water project planning, water allocation and delivery and in farm irrigation planning, design and operations. Improvements in the accuracy of such estimates increase the usefulness of the planning process. Functional relationships between crop yield and water supply presently available are only roughly estimated and are either assumed or derived empirically. This may be one of the reasons why present irrigation practices are not much different from those of the past in spite of the tremendous amount of work reported in relevant literature. This is not to imply that past work has not been important; in fact, work done in the past has helped to formulate present experimentation. Recently, however, the need for better predictive capability has become much greater, due to population expansion, intense competition for water between agricultural and nonagricultural needs, and increasing scarcity of natural water resources. Finally, but not least, environmentalists are bringing pressure on agriculturalists to use water more judiciously and wisely than in the past. This situation requires sound planning and management of irrigation.

A TECHNIQUE FOR CONTROLLING SOIL WATER CONTENT IN THE VICINITY OF ROOT HAIRS AND ITS APPLICATION TO SOIL-WATER-PLANT STUDIES
(UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, BANGALORE, 1963) HSIEH, JACK JUI-CHANG; GARDNER, W H
A technique for controlling water content in the root hair zone of growing plants has been developed and used to investigate (1) the relationship between soil water tension and plant growth and (2) the nature of water flow in the vicinity of root hairs . This technique could also be adapted to study the extent of mobilization of various plant nutrients and herbicides into the root hair zone and their subsequent uptake. The technique involves growing plants on a fine screen placed over soil in such a way that root hairs extend about 1.5 mm through the screen into soil with both main roots and rootlets remaining above the screen. A gamma-ray moisture detecting device is used to monitor the supply of water in the root hair zone • . By paeans of either adjusting the length of a hanging water column or controlling the rate of water supply. the rate of water flow to the soil lamina beneath the screen can be so adjusted as just to offset the loss due to evapotranspiration . Therefore. a predetermined soil water level can be maintained to within ~1.5\ water content in the root hair zone a growing plant. The expert~~~entail data show the dependence of plant growth upon Soil -~•r tension. lbe &Roth of corn leaves vas first affected by water -tension at 1 bar or less. Growth ceased at about 22-30 bars tension within the root b£ir ~. lbe soil laaina just outside the root hair zone had only about b&l.f ~he water ~end ion of t ha.t inside the zone.
