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 IMPACT OF NITROGEN MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON SOIL PROPERTIES, GROWTH AND YIELD OF RICE
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 41162) CHIKKARAJU, S N; CHIKKARAMAPPA, T
    Application of the nitrogen fertilizers and its availability is an important factor influencing the normal growth and development of the plant and it also influences on the soil properties. So, a field experiment was conducted during Khariff 2011, to study the impact of nitrogen management practices on soil properties, growth and yield of rice. The soil properties were studied by measuring the soil pH, EC, OC, available N, P, K, S, Zn, exchangeable Ca and Mg along with the enzymes activity. The growth and yield were studied by measuring agronomic and yield parameters of rice. Additionally economics of the different management practices was also studied. These nitrogen management practices includes UAS (B) package, STCR approach of nutrient management and other approach in combination with the green leaf manures and different levels of inorganic fertilizers. It was found that the treatment receiving nutrients based on STCR approach and UAS (B) was efficient in improving the soil physico-chemical properties and enzyme activity and it was on par with treatment received 50% N (inorganic) + 25% N (green Leaf) + 25% N (FYM). The yields were significantly greater in STCR and UAS (B) package compare to treatment with 100% (Inorganic) and other treatments. Lower B: C ratio obtained in only organic manure treatment and higher B: C ratio recorded in UAS (B) treatment.
