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.

    MODEL BASED STATISTICAL INVESTIGATION OF SELECTED RABI CROPS IN DHARWAD DISTRICT OF KARNATAKA

    In this study, an effort was made to analyze the trends in area, production and productivity of selected rabi crops (Chickpea, Wheat, Sorghum, Safflower) for a period of 23 years from 1997 to 2019 in Dharwad district of Karnataka. Linear, quadratic, cubic, quartic, exponential and log-logistic models were used for trend analysis. The best fit model was selected based on the least MAPE. Quartic model was the best fitted model for area of chickpea and sorghum. Same model was the best fit for productivity of all selected rabi crops. Quartic model was also fit the best for the production of selected rabi crops except chickpea. Exponential, log-logistic and cubic models were the best fit for production of chickpea, area of wheat and safflower respectively. Further, an attempt was made to predict the production of rabi crops based on best fit model. Increasing trend was noticed in all the crops for next five years in production. The extent of agriculture diversification in Dharwad district was studied using Herfindahl, Simpson and Entropy indices by considering sixteen major crops viz rice, wheat, sorghum, maize, chickpea, minor pulses, groundnut, safflower, sunflower, soyabean, sugarcane, cotton, garlic, coriander and fruits and vegetables. District showed greater degree of diversification under all three indices for entire study period from 2000-01 to 2019-20.
