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.

    EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT CULTIVARS OF TURMERIC (Curcuma longs L.) UNDER GHATAPRABHA LEFT BANK COMMAND AREA OF NORTHERN KARNATAKA
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 2001-08-13) HAKATI, RAVEENDRA B.; HANAMASHETTI, S.l.
    An attempt has been made to evaluate sixteen cuitivars of turmeric at Agricultural Research Station, Arabhavi during 1999-2000. The trial was laid out in a randomised block design with three replications. The plot size was 2.47 m x 3.15 m. Five plants per plot were selected randomly for recording morphological features, rhizome yield and curcumin content. The observation on growth parameters were recorded at five stages of crop growth, viz., 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 days after planting, yield and curcumin content were recorded after harvest. Among the cuitivars tried, CLI-315, Cuddapah, Krishna, CLI-327 and Salem recorded higher yield under Arabhavi conditions. Among the different cuitivars studied, Cuddapah, CLI-327 and CLI-315 were tallest in stature (51.26, 49.86 and 47.76 cm, respectively), while BSR-1 was recorded lower height (30.73). The cultivar CLI-315 produced maximum leaf area (50.74 dm2) and lowest leaf area (23.87 dm2) recorded in Bidar-1. The cultivar PCT-8 was found to be short duration type. The cuitivars Amalapuram, Tekurpeta and PCT-14 were found to be medium duration type.while Cuddapah, CLI-327, Rajapuri, CLI-315, Bjdar-4, PTS-24, CO-1, BSR-1, Bidar-1, Krishna and CLI-62 were found to be long duration type. The curing percentage was higher (25.39%) in PCT-8 followed by BSR-1 (22.30%) and Krishna (20.47%) and least (18.25%) in Bidar-1. Cured rhizome yield was highest (6.29 t/ha) in CLI-315 followed by Cuddapah (5.25 t/ha) and CLI-327 (5.12 t/ha). The curcumin content was maximum (9.29%) in PTS-24 followed by PCT-8 (8.45%) and PCT-14 (7.80%). Among different cultivars studied, the maximum fresh yield (32.19 t/ha) was observed in CLI-315 followed by CLI-327 (26.77 t/ha), Cuddapah (26.13 t/ha), Krishna (24.42 t/ha) and Salem (22.80 t/ha).
