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.

    EFFECT OF SOIL AND FOLIAR APPLICATION OF ZINC ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF KNOL KHOL
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2018-07-25) PAVITHRA, R.; Subbarayappa, C. T.
    A field experiment was conducted in the farmer’s field at Vijaypura, Bangalore Rural District during kharif 2017, to study the effect of soil and foliar application of zinc on growth and yield of knol khol (Brassica caulorapa var. gongylodes L.). The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with 10 treatments replicated thrice. The experimental results indicated that significantly higher plant height (39.90 cm), number of leaves per plant (14.83), leaf length (19.68 cm), chlorophyll content (14.70 SPAD reading) and yield (23 t ha-1) was recorded in the treatment which received RDF and FYM along with 4 kg of zinc through ZnSO4 as soil application and 0.14 per cent zinc through zinc sulphate as foliar spray. Application of 4 kg of zinc through ZnSO4 as soil application + 0.14 per cent zinc through zinc sulphate as foliar spray along with RDF and FYM significantly increased the total soluble solids (8.83 0Brix) and ascorbic acid content (56.73 mg 100g-1). Significantly higher zinc content in knol khol leaf (36.48 mg kg-1), knob (38.67 mg kg-1) and total uptake of zinc (154.96 g ha-1) was recorded in the treatment which received RDF and FYM along with 4 kg of zinc through ZnSO4 as soil application and 0.14 per cent zinc through zinc sulphate as foliar spray. Application of 8 kg of zinc through ZnSO4 as soil application along with RDF and FYM recorded higher zinc content of 0.96 mg kg-1 in soil at harvest.
