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.

    STUDIES ON Fusarium WILT IN SCENTED GERANIUM [Pelargonium graveolens (L.) Herit]
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 2020-12-30) ARUNKUMAR; Shreenivasa, K. R.
    Scented geranium is an important, perennial aromatic herb affected by several diseases of which wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum is becoming a major constraint in production. Wilt symptoms such as yellowing, drooping of plants and vascular discolouration were observed in the infected stems. Maximum wilt incidence recorded in Tumakuru district (36.73 %). The wilt causing pathogen was isolated from infected plant samples collected from different geranium growing areas of southern Karnataka and pathogenicity was proved under greenhouse conditions. The re-isolated pathogen was identified as F. oxysporum based on its morphological characters by comparing with standard descriptions of Fusarium species and also confirmed the pathogen through molecular characterization of isolates by using universal fungal ITS-1 and ITS-4 primers. Sabouraud's dextrose agar (SDA) and corn meal agar (CMA) were found to be ideal for radial mycelial growth and sporulation. The maximum growth and sporulation of the pathogen was found at temperature 25 ˚C and pH of 6.5. Among the botanicals and bio agents evaluated under in vitro condition against F. oxysporum, agave (59.31 %), Trichoderma viride Tv- 8 (71.12 %), Bacillus pumilis (54.66 %) and B. velezensis Bv-P42 (53.61 %) were effective in inhibition of mycelial growth of the pathogen. Among the fungicides evaluated, systemic fungicides carbendazim and propiconazole shower 100.00 per cent, combi products hexaconazole + captan 84.51 per cent and contact fungicide copper oxychloride 56.48 per cent were effective as evidenced by maximum mycelial growth inhibition compared to other fungicides under in vitro condition.

    A STUDY ON INFLUENCE OF PRICING METHODS ON PRICE OF REDGRAM IN GULBARGA
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 42204) ARUNKUMAR; Venkata Reddy, T. N
    India accounts for 90 per cent of the global production of redgram (Cajanus cajana). Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat accounts for major share in production. North-East Karnataka is known for redgram production particularly the Gulbarga district. The present study’s specific objectives were the analyzing farmer’s awareness about the different pricing methods, factors influencing the price and to analyze the different pricing methods. 100 redgram growers were selected who sold the produce in Gulbarga, Sedam and Chittapur were selected for the study. 94 per cent of the farmers were aware of the different pricing methods. Open auction was known by 91 per cent farmers and e-tendering by 76 per cent of farmers. 84 per cent of the farmers opted for open auction method to sell the produce. Moisture content was the major factor which influenced the price followed by seasonality and number of buyers participated in purchasing process as indicated by 97 per cent, 76 per cent and 68 per cent of the farmers respectively. The comparative analysis of different pricing methods revealed that the price realized was highest in e-tendering (Rs.5885/Qtl) followed by open auction (Rs.5504/Qtl). E-tendering was preferred for sales of redgram with a Garrett’s ranking of I and mean score of 22.82 in Gulbarga, whereas farmers in Chittapur market ranked open auction as number I with a mean score of 29.92 and mutual negotiation in Sedam ranked as number I with a mean score of 22.82. The E-tendering pricing method resulted in higher price this needs to be promoted among the farmers
