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.

    IMPACT OF FUNGAL GROWTH ON COTTON FABRIC
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 1999-09-09) SAKSHI, Miss.; Shailaja, D.N.
    This study comprised of both survey and experimental procedure conducted during 1997-98 in Dharwad. Self structured questionnaire was prepared to elicit information regarding popular brand of blue and starch used for household laundering by personal interview method. The sample comprised of fifty female households. Pure (100%) white poplin material was selected for experimental study and subjected for three finishes viz., desizing, blueing and starching. The control and treated samples were tested for occurrence of various fungi at two levels of relative humidity i.e. 65 per cent and 85 per cent The samples were inoculated with 6 days old four fungal cultures namely Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus stolonifer, Chaetomium globosum and Helminthosporium sps. Inoculated samples were incubated for 7 days in humidity chamber and assessed for the extent of fungal growth, damage and change in physical parameters viz., cloth weight, cloth bursting strength and cloth tensile strength. The results of survey revealed that Robin liquid blue and Revive instant starch were popular for the household laundering. Aspergillus and Pencillium were the commonly found fungi in all the fabric samples. The visual inspection showed a remarkable decline in texture, lustre, colour and hand and feel of inoculated sample. Among the four selected cultures Rhizopus stolonifer damaged the samples maximum and Chaetomium globosum minimum. The starched samples inoculated with Rhizopus stolonifer at 65 per cent RH showed higher damage followed by control, blued and desized Chaetomium globosum inoculated on desized samples at 85 per cent RH showed least damage. All physical characteristics viz., cloth weight, cloth bursting strength and cloth tensile strength were adversely affected on inoculation of fungal cultures.

    EFFECT OF SOAKING AND CLEANSING AGENTS ON THE PIGMENTATION OF DHARWAD DESI COLOURED COTTON-1 (Gossypium arboreum L.) FABRIC
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 1999-09-09) KHYADI, SHIVALEELA I.; Naik, Shailaja D.
    The study was conducted during the year 1997-98 in Dharwad city of Karnataka State with the objectives to study the effect of soaking, acidic and alkaline cleansing agents on the pigment of DDCC-1 fabric. Further the effect of commercial scouring and mercerisation was also studied. The change in the colour of DDCC-1 fabric was assessed with the aid of computer colour matching system under four illuminations viz., daylight, tungsten, tubelight-83 and tubelight-84. The study was also aimed to know the commonly used cleansing agents by the households for domestic laundering, since this information was essential to select the cleansing agents for the present experiment. Survey results of 150 female households revealed that detergent consumption is higher than the soaps and majority of them purchased the cleansing agents monthly. The pigment of DDCC—1 fabric improved on soaking in water irrespective of hardness. Stability in the improvement of colour was attained at 13'^ soaking. Significant enhancement in the pigment was observed on subsequent washes. Though the fabric was subjected for twenty washes, maximum increase in the colour was observed after 10'"' wash. Greater improvement in the pigment was observed when washed with detergents viz., Ariel, Surf and wheel compared to soaps (Nirma, 501 soap and OK soap cake) natural cleansing agents (Shikakai and Reetanut) and liquid detergents {Ezee and Genteel). Though all the selected cleansing agents enhanced the original colour, higher alkalinity, acidity and neutral pH did not show a remarkable improvement in the original colour. Commercial scouring and mercerisation also enhanced the original colour of DDCC-1 fabric remarkably.

    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.

    PROPERTIES OF UAS SHEEP BREED WOOL
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 1999-09-09) BIDIKAR, PRATIBHA R.; Mahale, Geeta
    The present study was conducted during 1997-98. The wool samples of UAS sheef breed of spring clip and autumn clip were collected from the Department of Animal Science, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad. The samples were tested for morophology, solubility and physical properties. The UAS sheep breed wool properties were compared with native Deccani wool (mixed clip). Results revealed that majority of the fibres of UAS sheep breed wool had annular type scale structure, circular, finer in diameter and non-medullated. The UAS crossbred wool had 56.19 mm fibre length, 47.53 mm staple length, 20.00 per cent fibre crimp, 31.64 p fibre diameter, 34.00 per cent meduliation and 10.17 g/tex fibre bundle strength. Non medullated fibres had lesser fibre diameter as compared to partially medullated and coarsely medullated fibres. The fibre diameter was decreased with decrease in meduliation percentage. Yarn fineness was improved (3.30 Nm) where as single yam strength and yam elongation at break were reduced. Fibre and yam properties were higher in the autumn clip than in the spring clip. The UAS sheep breed wool fibres were resistant to sodium carbonate, hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, organic solvants and bleaching agents, but partially soluble in sodium hydroxide and completely soluble in sulfuric acid. There was improvement of UAS sheep breed over native Deccani in fibre diameter, meduliation, fibre crimp and yarn count, but reduction was observed in fibre bundle strength and yam elongation at break

    EFFECT OF BLEACHING AGENTS ON NATURALLY COLOURED COTTON YARNS
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 1999-09-09) GANDHAD, ROOPA S.; NAIK, SHAILAJA D.
    The present study entitled effect of bleaching agents on naturally coloured cotton yarns was carried out during 1997-98 at Dharwad with the objective to study the effect of scouring, bleaching, mercerisation on naturally coloured cotton yarns. Three brown coloured namely Dharwad light brown hirsutuni (DLBH-95-1), Dharwad medium brown hirsutum (DMBH- 95-1), Dharwad dark brown hirsutum (DDBH-95-1) and one Dharwad green hirsutum (DGH-95-1) were selected for the study. The experiment was carried out at yarn stage included treating the yarns with scouring agents namely soda ash (Sj), a mild alkali and a mixture of soda ash and caustic soda (S2), u strong alkali. Bleaching was carried out for Sj and S2 scoured genotypes with calcium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, sodium hydrosulphite and sunlight separately. On scouring, bleaching and mercerisation the single yarn strength and colour change was assessed using computer colour matching system under daylight, tungsten, tubelight-83 and tubelight-84 illuminations. Scouring increased the single yarn strength and colour of all the genotypes. However, higher improvement in the single yarn strength was evident on 83 scouring where as maximumimprovement on colour was on Sj scouring when assessed under all the light illuminations. Sunlight bleaching increased the single yarn strength of all the brown genotypes and reduced the strength of green genotype. Bleaching resulted in the fading of colour of all the genotypes however, they appeared darker than the control. All the selected naturally coloured cotton genotypes bleached unevenly with calcium hypochlorite and further it reduced hue intensity of coloured cottons. There was minimal fading of the colour on sodium hydrosulphite bleaching and was moderate with hydrogen peroxide and sunlight bleaching. Mercerisation did increase the single yarn strength and colour of all the selected naturally coloured cotton genotypes.

    PREFERENCE FOR DECORATIVES BY COLLEGE GOING GIRLS ON THEIR APPAREL
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 1998-08-19) PATIL, LEENA A.; Shailaja, D.N.
    Dress making can be one of the most rewarding forms of handicrafts. Almost anyone can sew pieces of fabric together to make a dress, however it needs good deal of skill, imagination and application to give this basic dress a perfect finish, the finishing touch by way of trimmings can change a simple silhoutte into a distinctive one. The present study on preference for decoratives by college going girls on their apparel, was carried out in Belgaum and Dharwad cities during 1996. The informative data was collected by interviewing hundred and sixty college girls, thirty readymade shopkeepers were interviewed to know the awareness of the respondents about ftie decoratives, preference for flat and embrssed decoratives and their care and maintenence. Results revealed that, saiwarsuit was the most preferred garment ftie respondents. The most commonly known decoratives were chainstitch, bead woric, lacework, tie -dyes, buckles and belts. Prefoience for decoratives was more obvious among traditional college respondents than professional college. Flat decoratives were preferred most on the casual wears by the respondents mainly because of their simplicity, suitability, easycare and maintenance. On the contrary embossed decoratives were preferred for ceremonial and party wear because of their gorgeons, rich and novelty appearance on the costume. The shopkeepers of the readymade garments opined that customers considered the decoratives sometime only while purchasing and care instructions for these decorated attires were not provided by the garment manufiictures. Majority of the respondents preferred to dry clean their decorated garments. Some washed after every two wear, pressed from reverse side and hung in the wardrobe using napthaline balls as the moth and mildew repellents.
