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.

    ANALYSIS OF TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL RAINFALL OF KODAGU DISTRICT
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2015-07-10) DEEPTHI, K.A; Manjunath, V.
    The study aims at analysing the distribution of rainfall across Kodagu district using the weekly rainfall data of 24 rain gauges for a period of 40 years from 1972 to 2012. Rainfall data was obtained from Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Government of Karnataka. The study period was divided into four sub periods each of a decade in order to examine the temporal variation in rainfall. Analysis was also carried out over the seasons namely, pre-monsoon, South west monsoon and post monsoon. Further the probability model for wet spells was fitted. The annual rainfall of three taluks of Kodagu district shows a significant variation during all four periods of study. The distribution of rainfall across seasons indicates a shift in rainfall pattern from south west monsoon to post and pre monsoon seasons. The proportion of decline in rainfall during the south west monsoon which is offset by an increase in proportion of pre-monsoon and post monsoon rainfall indicates the temporal shift in rainfall. It can also be observed that there was a considerable temporal variation in rainfall within all the taluks during South west monsoon season. The Kendall’s coefficient of concordance on the values of Precipitation ratio indicates a significant spatial variation in rainfall of Kodagu district. On the basis of Seasonality Index, Kodagu district can be broadly classified into two rainfall regimes namely region which experience seasonal rainfall with shorter drier season and region experiencing long wet spells especially during South west monsoon. The length of the wet spells of Kodagu can be modelled by Truncated Beta Binomial distribution.

    STATISTICAL EVALUATION OF STRUCTURAL CHANGE IN CROPPING PATTERN OF TUMAKURU DISTRICT
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2015-07-17) PAVITHRA, R.; Surendra, H. S
    Change in cropping pattern implies a change in proportion of area under different crops. The study aimed at analysing the changes in cropping pattern in Tumakuru with the help of time series data for a period of 20 years from 1994-95 to 2013-14 and for four sub periods viz. 1994-95 to 1998-99, 1999-00 to 2003-04, 2004- 05 to 2008-09 and 2009-10 to 2013-14 over taluks of the district. Data were collected from the District Statistical office, Tumakuru. To analyse the extent of crop diversification across the taluks of Tumakuru district diversification indices such as Herfindhal index and Simpson index were used. The results revealed that district experienced diversified cropping pattern during last twenty years. Degree of diversification was high in Koratagere taluk and less in Pavagada. Tiptur and Turuvekere taluks showed moderate specialization. Taluks viz., Madhugiri, Sira, Kunigal, Chikkanayakanahalli, Gubbi and Tumakuru taluks are on the path of diversification and the inference is supported by Kendall’s coefficient of concordance and Rank correlation coefficient. Tumakuru district experienced declining trend in area under food crops while area under plantation crops increased during the study period.
