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.

    TRANSFORMATION OF PHOSPHORUS IN A VERTISOL IN SUNFLOWER-JOWAR CROPPING SEQUENCE
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 2001-08-09) GOROJI, PRAVEEN T.; SARANGAMATH, Dr. P. A.
    An investigation was carried out to know the effect of Diammonium Phosphate (DAP), Single Super Phosphate (SSP), Mussoori Rock Phosphate (MRP) with pyrite, P solubilizers and their combination with FYM on P availability, P transformation and crop yield under sunflowerjowar cropping sequence in a vertisol of Agricultural Research Station, Annigeri during 1996-97. An incubation study with 18 treatment combination comprising of P-sources and P-solubilizers was also conducted to assess the extent of release of P with time. Incubation study revealed that recovery of P from DAP applied at the rate of 50 kg P2O5 ha ' at 30, 60 and 90 days was 31.74, 19.34 and 18.08 per cent, respectively, whereas recovery of P from MRP with same rate of application at corresponding period was low and it was 2.54, 4.26 and 4.50 per cent, respectively. Incorporation of FYM increased available P at all the periods of incubation. Phosphorus transformation study revealed that the dominance of different P forms among the mineral P fraction is in the following order: saloid-P

    EFFECT OF FLY ASH ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF CROPS, NUTRIENT UPTAKE AND SOIL PROPERTIES WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON TOXIC ELEMENTS AND RADIONUCLIDES
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 2001-08-09) RAJAKUMAR, G. R.; PATIL, C. V.
    Field experiment was conducted at RRS, Raichur during 1996-97 and 1997-98 with different levels of flyash and pondash to study the effect on growth and yield of sunflower, groundnut and maize crops in Alfisol and VertisoL Apphcation of flyash/pondash @ 30 t/ha to red and black soil under irrigated condition increased the growth and yield of sunflower significantly during kharif. Further, combined apphcation of flyash/pondash @ 30 t/ha and FYM @ 20 t/ha increased seed yield to 36.6 and 29.0 per cent over control in red and black soil, respectively. Flyash/pondash had significant residual effect on groundnut in red soil and maize in black soil. The maximum pod yield of groundnut (17.78 q/ha) and grain yield of maize (22.50 q/ha) was recorded in T7 (pondash plus FYM) treatment in red and black soil, respectively. Apphcation of flyash/pondash increased the uptake of nutrients significantly in sunflower, groundnut and maize crops. However, combined apphcation of flyash/pondash and FYM decreased the concentration of heavy metals/radionuchdes in plants as compared to individual apphcation, which was far below the critical limit specified by WHO. Addition ot flyash/pondash either individuahy or in combination with FYM increased the moisture holding capacity and available nutrient status of soils, significantly. Further, significant increase in the microbial population and enzymatic activity was recorded in both soils due to the above treatment. The total content of heavy metals/radionuclides in both the soils decreased due to the above treatment than the maximum dose. However, the increased concentration of heavy metals/radionuchdes was far below the critical limit specified by WHO/F AO for normal soils. Present investigation clearly indicated that apphcation of pondash @ 30 t/ha along with FYM @ 20 t/ha was economical in increasing the higher returns in sunflower - groundnut cropping system in red soil and sunflowermaize cropping system in black soil.

    STUDIES ON YIELD AND QUALITY OF BYADGI CHILLI (Capsicum annuum L.) IN RELATION TO SOIL PROPERTIES IN TRANSITIONAL ZONE AND PART OF DRY ZONE OF NORTH KARNATAKA
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 2001-08-09) BIDARI, B.I.; Sarangamath, Dr. P.A.
    Studies made on yield and quality of Byadgi chillies in relation to soil properties in Dharwad, Haveri and Gadag districts of Kamataka indicate that, deep black soils produced highest yield and first grade fruits, while red soils produced lowest yield and third grade fruits and medium black soils were intermediate in influencing the yield and quality of fruits. Nutient status of soils, moisture availability and other soil properties influenced the root growth and nutrient uptake by plants leading to variation in the yield and quality of Byadgi chillies. Different grade Byadgi chilli fruits were analysed for physico-chemical characters, quality attributes and mineral composition. Further, pericarp and seed components were also analysed for minerals separately, to study their partitioning in fruit components and to establish relationship between quality attributes and mineral status of whole fruits/fruit components. Non significant difference existed between different grades of fruits for capsaicin and oleoresin contents, but significant difference existed for colour value of fruits with first grade fruits recording highest quality attributes followed by second and third grade fruits. Mineral concentration in whole red fruits followed the order K>N>Ca>Mg>S>P>Fe>Mn>Zn>Cu and significant difference existed between different fruit grades for K concentration in whole fruits pericarp component with highest concentration in the first grade fruits. Partitioning of minerals in fruit components revealed that, irrespective of fruit grade, all minerals except K and Ca gets partitioned more in seed than in pericarp. Correlation studies revealed that, yield/quality attributes of chillies are negatively related to bulk density of soil, while other soil physico-chemical properties are positively related. Similarly, organic carbon, available N and K had significant positive correlation with yield/quality of fruits. Significant positive relationship between colour value of fruits and K concentration in whole fruit/pericarp component was observed.
