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.

    A field experiment entitled “Optimizing NPK nutrient management under intercropping system in aerobic rice (Oryza sativa. L.) was conducted at Zonal Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra, Bengaluru, during Kharif 2010. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Completely Block Design with 12 treatments combinations consisting three levels of fertilizers viz., 100 per cent, 125 per cent and 75 per cent of recommended fertilizer dose and three intercrop viz., amaranthus, frenchbean and raddish with sole rice which are replicated thrice. Among the treatments significantly higher grain yield was recorded in aerobic rice + amaranthus + 125% RDF (5471 kg ha-1) followed by aerobic rice + 125% RDF (5197 kg ha-1). Significantly lower grain yield was recorded with aerobic rice + raddish + 75% RDF (3771 kg ha-1). The increase in grain yield was in the order of 13.5 and 7.4 per cent in aerobic rice + amaranthus + 125% RDF and aerobic rice + 125% RDF over aerobic rice + 100%RDF respectively. Among the different treatments significantly higher rice equivalent yield (REY) was recorded in aerobic rice + amaranthus + 125% RDF (17013 kg ha-1). Significantly lower grain yield was recorded with aerobic rice + 75% RDF (4029 kg ha-1). Aerobic rice + amaranthus + 125% RDF recorded a significantly higher net return (Rs. 43, 798 ha-1) and B:C ratio (3.61) as compared to other treatments. From this experiment it is concluded that aerobic rice + amaranthus + 125% RDF is helpful in achieving higher productivity in aerobic rice based intercropping system under Agroclimatic zone-5 of Karnataka.
