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.

    Influence of microbial inoculants and organics on plant growth promotion and yield of ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.)
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru, 2012-08-28) K. C, Latha; K. R, Sreeramulu
    A pot culture study conducted to know the effect of individual and combined microbial inoculants on growth and yield of ginger has revealed that, combined application of Azospirillum brasilense + Aspergillus niger + Trichoderma harzianum + Glomus fasciculatum was best in improving the plant growth. Based on the results of pot culture studies, the above microbial consortia was further tested at three levels of N,P and Zn with FYM / Vermicompost in a location trial (field experiment) conducted at Aladahalli village of Hassan taluk. Combined inoculation of Azospirillum brasilense + Aspergillus niger + Trichoderma harzianum + Glomus fasciculatum with 100 per cent N, P, K and Zn + FYM was found best and was statistically on par with A. brasilense + A. niger + T. harzianum + G. fasciculatum + 75% N, P, Zn + 100% K + FYM in improving the plant height, number of tillers, number of leaves and leaf area at 45, 90, 135 and 180 days after planting with increase in rhizome yield, oleoresin content, plant nutrient uptake and lowest rhizome rot. Among these two treatments the above microbial consortia with 75% N, P, Zn + 100% K + FYM was found economically advantageous in obtaining higher yield and in terms of saving 25% N, P and Zn application. The best treatment combination A. brasilense + A. niger + T. harzianum + G. fasciculatum + 75% N, P, Zn + 100% K + FYM was further tested in eight different villages of Hassan taluk (multi-location trials) in comparison with farmers practice and UAS(B) recommended package of practice. Results showed that the above tretment combination was found best in improving the growth and yield of ginger.
