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.

    ASSESSMENT OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CAMEL AND GOAT HAIR
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2007-09-01) KIRTI NAGAL; SHAILAJA D. NAIK
    The present study entitled assessment of physical properties of camel and goat hair was carried out during 2004-06 to assess the physical properties of camel and goat hair, to compare the quality parameter of camel, goat and blended yams and determine the effect of acid and reactive dyeings on the colourfastness of camel yarn. The camel hair was procured from National Research Centre on Camels, Bikaner (Raj) and goat hair from Rajasthan Agricultural University Bikaner (Raj). The fibre samples were assessed for morphological, chemical and physical characteristics. The hair were distinctively handspun into camel, goat and blended yams (Camekgoat 50:50) and were assessed for yam count, yarn twist and single yarn strength. But camel yarn was alone dyed in acid and reactive dyes and assessed for colour fastness. From the results of pilot study yellow, green and blue colour and 2 per cent dye concentration was selected on the basis of dye absorption and visual appearance. Camel hair was relatively finer with lower medullation percentage compared to goat hair. Camel yarn was finer with greater number of tpi whose single yarn strength and elongation percentage was lower than to goat and blended yarn. Acid and reactive dyes showed significant adverse effect on yam properties, that inturn resulted into yarn coarseness, lower tpi and decreased in single yarn strength regardless of hues and dyeing methods. Dyed samples showed good colourfastness to crocking and sunlight. Hence to enhance the appearance of camel hair, colour can be added as value addition that aids the young entrepreneurs to take up this venture and rejuvenate the applicability of speciality hair fibres.

    REVIVAL OF RELIC KHANA MATERIAL AS CONTEMPORARY DESIGNER'S BED LINEN
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2007-09-01) NAMRATA M; SHAILAJA D. NAIK
    The present study entitled "Revival of relic khana material as contemporaiy bed linen" was conducted during 2004 - 06. Traditional handwoven khana materials are the blouse (kubasa) material with extra warp dobby figures of Northern Karnataka. In the present days, the utility of khana materials for cboli purpose has declined to a greater extent affecting the weaver's community. Hence efforts were made to revive the relic khana material by diversifying its utility towards designing contemporary diwan sets. According to objectives, 30 each of housewives and working women were interviewed using self structured schedule by personally interviewing to assess the most suitable fibre content, colour and pattern of khana material for designing diwan sets. Five diwan sets were designed by using different patchwork techniques like block, crazy, logcabin, mosaic and tucked patchworks. They were surface enriched with tribal embroideries and accessories viz.., coins, shells, tassels, frills and bells to give an ethnic look. Further, consumer's acceptance to the newly designed diwan sets was assessed from 50 each of housewives and working women to reveal its suitability to the contemporaiy era. Mosaic patchwork was highly accepted followed by block, logcabin, tucked and crazy patchwork. About 82 percent of the respondents opined excellent for designer's diwan sets and expressed that they give trendy look. These diwan sets were digitized using Corel DRAW version 7.0 to throw light on applicability of khana on three lighter background material viz.., blue, red and yellow. The total cost and return was high in block and crazy patchworks, moderate for tucked and logcabin patchworks and low for mosaic patchwork. These designer's diwan sets have great demand in three star and five star hotels which would enrich their interiors. Self entrepreneurs can expand their units to build international market and in turn promote khana weavers.

    SPECIAL FINISHES TO IMPROVE RESILIENCY AND HAND-FEEL OF THE NATURALLY COLOURED COTTON KHADI FABRIC
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2007-01-06) SUJATA, H. MULASAVALAGI; SHAILAJA, D. NAIK
    The present investigation entitled "Special finishes to improve resilienc y and hand-fee l of the naturally coloured cotton khadi fabric " was carried out during 2003-05 at Dharwad. The naturally coloured cotton khadi fabric of brown variety DDCC-1, Gossypium arboreum was selected for the present study . This Khadi fabric was subjected for crease resistant , enzyme and softener finishes and the treated samples were then assessed for physical and funct ional propert ies. There was slight increase in yarn count , cloth count , thickness; and considerable increase in bending length as well as crease recovery angle , when fabric treated with crease resistant finish, because of cross-linking of cellulosic chains. The enzyme treated test samples showed increase in yarn count , cloth count and drapability where as other mechanical and funct ional properties remained almost unaltered. The cationic and silicone softe ners during mechanical agitati on removed the protruding staple fibres , thus making the yarn both softe r and finer. Because of improvement in softness , there was positive impact of fabric propert ies like weight, thickness, bending path and crease recovery angle. Significant improvement in drapability and resistance to pilling was also noticed. However, cation ic treated samples showed better results than the silicone softe ner.
