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.

    SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES IN RELATION TO GROWTH, ANTICHILCV AND ANTI-WHITEFLY ACTIVITIES IN RESPONSE TO DEFENCE INDUCING BIO-MOLECULES IN CHILLI
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 2023-02-15) ABHISHEK H J; Manjunath, B.
    Chilli is an important vegetable cum spice crop, known as wonder spice. Chilli leaf curl virus (ChiLCV) is a major threat for the production and productivity and it is transmitted by whitefly. In order to manage the whiteflies farmers indiscriminately use of huge amount of pesticide, resulting in resurgence of the pests, phytotoxicity, human health hazards, destruction of beneficial microorganisms and environmental pollution. Induction of biochemical defence and eco-friendly management through bio-molecules is a new trend. Among different tested sea weed molecules and plant extract in both laboratory and glass house condition, Neem soap (8gm/L) was found effective. In lab condition maximum mean mortality of whiteflies was recorded in agar plate method (60 %) in cotton leaves. While, least preference (10 whiteflies) and fecundity (35 eggs) was observed in glass house condition which was tested in cotton plants. The LBD12 (1.0ml/L) and LBD-14 (1.0ml/L) bio-molecule treated chilli plants showed least disease severity in both pre-inoculation (38.89 % and 42.22 %) and post-inoculation (22.22 % and 23.44 %) which were significantly enhanced defence related enzymes such as POX, Catalase, PPO, SOD, PAL and phenol in both pre-inoculation and post-inoculated condition. Eight integrated modules had been developed and evaluated for management of ChiLCV and whitefly activity in three different farmer’s field. Among them module-1 and module-2 exhibited least whitefly activity and recorded least disease incidence and severity compared to other modules. Maximum yield was observed in both the modules (26.87 t/ha and 24.04 t/ha) with the B:C ratio of (6.72:1 and 6.01:1) as compared to other module.
