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.

    STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF COST OF CULTIVATION OF MAJOR CEREAL CROPS OF KARNATAKA

    Cereals have been considered as the principal component of human diet for thousands of years and have played a major role in supplying nutrients to human civilization. Cereals represent around 37 per cent of the total cultivated land in Karnataka state. For the current study three major cereal crops such as Rice, Maize and Jowar was considered. In this research, an effort was made to study the growth rate and trend in area, production and productivity of major cereal crops of Karnataka state using Linear, Quadratic, Cubic, Exponential and Log-logistic model by considering secondary data for the time period of 15 years from 2005-06 to 2019-20. The best fit model model was selected based on the minimum value RMSE. Linear, exponential and cubic models were found to be best fit. Here in this research an attempt was made to evaluate growth rate in area, production and productivity of major cereal crops in Karnataka using compound growth rate formula. Growth rate was found to be decreasing for both Rice and Jowar but for Maize crop the growth rate was increasing in nature. Further the attempt was made to measure the change in composition that is resource use efficiency was estimated using cobb-douglas production function. It is observed that for both Rice (1.253) and Jowar (1.614) returns was found to be increasing where as decreasing returns was observed for Maize crop (0.699).
