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 FUNGI ON DISCOLOURATION OF DYED FABRICS
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 1999-09-09) GOUDAR, IRAMMA V.; Naik, Shailaja D.
    The study comprised of experimental procedure, conducted during 1997-98 in Dharwad. Pure (100%) silk, cotton and polyester white materials were dyeAwith acid, reactive and disperse dyes, respectively were selected for the study. Each fabric sample was dyed with three hues viz., blue, red and yellow, all being primary. The test samples were inoculated with four fungal culttures viz., AspergiUus niger, Trichoderma harzianum, Phanerocbaete chrysosporium and Pleurotus sapidus of two concentrations each i.e. 3 days and 6 days old. These inoculated samples were incubated for 6 days at 30°C and assessed for the level of discolouration and change In physical parameters viz., cloth weight, cloth tensile strength and cloth tear strength. The results revealed that greater level of discolouration was caused by AspergiUus niger compared to other cultures. Of the three primary colours blue discolourised to a greater extent followed by yellow and red in all the three fabrics. Among all the dyed samples, blue coloured cotton showed greater reduction in colour. Of the four selected cultures AspergiUus niger damaged the samples maximum and Pieurotus sapidus minimum. The 6 days old concentration affected the colour as well as the physical parameters compared to 3 days old. Cloth weight, cloth tensile strength and cloth tear strength of cotton sample were adversely affected compared to silk and polyester on inoculation of fungal cultures.
