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 AREA, PRODUCTION AND PRODUCTIVITY OF PADDY CROP IN SELECTED DISTRICTS OF ANDHRA PRADESH
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 2022-12-23) GANESH, V; GOPINATH RAO, M
    In the present study an attempt was made using secondary data for the period of 23 years (1997 to 2019) to understand the trend in area, production and productivity of paddy crop in selected three districts of Andhra Pradesh viz., East Godavari, Krishna and West Godavari district. Forecast was made for the production of paddy crop and further study carried to identify structural change in area and productivity of paddy crop. Trend analysis was performed by fitting different models such as linear, quadratic, cubic, exponential and log-logistic model. Based on the minimum MAPE value, it was evident that exponential model was best fit for area and cubic model were good fit for production and productivity of paddy in East Godavari district. Exponential model good fit model for area and productivity of paddy and linear model was found better model for production in Krishna district. For West Godavari district linear model was best for area and cubic model were deemed to be the good model for production and productivity. Study also focused to forecast the production of paddy crop in selected district based on the best fitted model for next 5 years. East Godavari and West Godavari districts shows increasing trend while Krishna district shows decreasing trend. The structural break of area and productivity of paddy in East Godavari, Krishna and West Godavari was observed during the post 2000 periods
