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.

    USE OF GOLD ORE TAILINGS (GOT) AS A SOURCE-OF ... ..MICRONUTRIENTS TO GROUNDNUT (Arachis hypogaea L.) IN VERTISOLS
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2007-01-06) VIDYAVATHI; K. K. MATH
    A field investigation was conducted on Typic Haplustert at MARS, Dharwad during kharif 2004 to study the effect of GOT either alone or in combination with COT and FYM on growth, yield and uptake of nutrients by the groundnut, residual nutrient status of soil and soil enzyme activities. The treatments included different levels of GOT alone and in combination with COT and FYM. The experiment was laid out in RED with 12 treatments and 3 replications

    USE OF GOLD ORE TAILINGS (GOT) AS A SOURCE-OF ... ..MICRONUTRIENTS TO GROUNDNUT (Arachis hypogaea L.) IN VERTISOLS

    A field investigation was conducted on Typic Haplustert at MARS, Dharwad during kharif 2004 to study the effect of GOT either alone or in combination with COT and FYM on growth, yield and uptake of nutrients by the groundnut, residual nutrient status of soil and soil enzyme activities. The treatments included different levels of GOT alone and in combination with COT and FYM. The experiment was laid out in RED with 12 treatments and 3 replications. Application of GOT @ 0.75 t ha' along with FYM significantly I . improved growth and yield attributing characters eventually resulting in 27.1 and 35.2 per cent higher pod and haulm yield of groundnut, respectively over control. This was on par with treatments receiving 1.0 t ha! GOT alone and in combination with FYM. There was also significant increase in the synthesis of chlorophyll in groundnut leaves due to the said treatments. The uptake of nutrients by the crop significantly increased over control due to application of GOT @0.75 t ha! along with FYM and was on par with treatments receiving 1.0 ' t ha! GOT alone a n d in' combination with FYM. Similar trend was noticed with respect to residual nutrient status of soil. There was build-up in the residual status of micronutrients and accumulation of cyanide and lead was in permissible limits in soil due to various treatments. Soil enzyme activities viz., dehydrogenase, urease and phosphatase was improved when GOT was applied @ 0.75 and 1.0 t ha! along with FYM. However, there was significant reduction in their activities due to application of GOT @ 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 t ha-1 alone. The highest net returns ' was recorded due to application of GOT @ 1.0 t h a! alone followed by GOT @ 0.75 t h a -' along with FYM and this can be recommended to farmers
