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.

    EFFECT OF EXTRAFOLIATION OF BOTANICALS ON QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS OF MULBERRY SILK
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 2001-08-10) ANGADI, ARCHANA P.; Mahale, Geeta
    The present investigation was conducted in the year 1998-99 in the department of Textiles & Clothing in collaboration with the department of sericulture at the University of Agricultural Sciences Dharwad. The research was done to exploit different weeds, to know the effect of these weeds on the quality parameters of cocoon as well as raw silk yarn and also to know if there is any allergic effect of the raw silk produced out of extrafoliation of Parthenium. The botanicals used for the experiment were Parthenium hysterophorus, Tridax procumbens & Lantana camara. Due to the abundant availability of these weeds and also based on the earlier studies on these weeds it was decided to use these botanicals for the present investigation. The salient results of the research are: Among the cocoon parameters Parthenium showed better results for cocoon weight and shell weight whereas it was Tridax as far as shell ratio was considered. Among the silk filament parameters it was Tridax which gave better results for denier and average filament length but it was Parthenium for average nonbreakable filament length. For the silk yarn parameters Tridax gave best results for winding breaks, average size, size deviation, evenness and average neatness. Parthenium gave better results for average cleanness, tenacity and cohesion. Lantana gave good result for elongation. In all the parameters it was the treated group which gave best results than the control. As far as allergy test was considered, though all the thirty subjects irrespective of sex had sensitive skin, none of them showed any dermatalogic hazards like rashes, redness, itching or burning. The raw silk produced out of extrafoliation of Parthenium proved to be safe to manufacture the fabric
