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.

    RESPONSE OF RICE (Oryza sativa L.) CULTIVARS TO THE POPULATION DYNAMICS UNDER AEROBIC METHOD
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2007-09-17) BASAVARAJA, M.K.; K.MURALI
    A field experiment entitled "Response of rice cultivars to the population dynamics under aerobic method" was conducted at Agronomy Field Unit, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, during Kharif 2006 in red sandy loam soil (Alfisols). The experiment was laid out in split plot design with 15 treatment combinations consisting five genotypes viz., KRH-2, MTU-1001, THANU, MAS-26 and MAS-946 and three plant spacings viz., 20 cm x 10 cm, 25 cm x 25 cm, 45 cm x 20 cm spacing. Among plant spacings 45 cm x 20 cm recorded significantly higher grain yield and straw yield (57.31 q ha-^ and 6.89 t ha-i respectively), which was significantly superior over the 25 cm x 25 cm (50.57 q ha-^ and 6.44 t ha-i), and the lowest grain and straw yield was recorded with 20 cm X 10 cm (40.90 q ha-i and 5.72 t ha-^). The increased grain yield was due to the increased growth parameters like plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf area, leaf area index, total dry matter and yield parameters at a spacing of 45 cm x 20 cm. Among rice genotypes KRH-2 recorded significantly higher grain and straw yield (57.53 q ha-^ and 7.17 t ha-i respectively) over the MTU- 1001 (52.62 q ha-i and 6.54 t ha"i). Where as MTU-1001 was onpar with THANU, followed by MAS-26 and MAS-946. The study concluded that genotype KRH-2 hybrid recorded higher grain yield over other genotypes but in case of varieties MTU-1001 recorded higher grain yield which was onpar with THANU, when grown at 45 cm X 20 cm spacing
