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.

    PHYSIOLOGICAL BASIS OF VARIATION IN PRODUCTIVITY POTENTIAL OF CHILLI {Capsicum annuum L.) GENOTYPES
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, DHARWAD, 1997) C M, NAWALAGATTI; M B, CHETTI
    "Field experiments were conducted at College of Agriculture Farm, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during kharif 1990 and 1991 to findout the physiological basis of variation in productivity potential and the biochemical basis of murda syndrome complex in four varieties, six lines and two hybrids of chilli. Results revealed that, the morpho-physiological traits differed significantly among the lines, varieties and hybrids, with hybrids recording significantly higher dry weight of leaf, stem, reproductive parts and TDM and having significant positive correlation with yield and yield components. Similarly, the growth parameters viz., AGR, CGR, NAR, SLW, LWR, LAR, LAD and BMD also differed significantly among lines, varieties and hybrids and had significant positive correlation with yield and yield components, except NAR, LWR and LAR.Fruit yield, number of fruits per plant, per cent fruit set, HI,fruitgirth,100-fruit weight, number of seeds per fruit, 1000-seed weight indicated significant differences among the genotypes. The fruit yield and the yield components were significantly higher in hybrids as compared to lines and varieties. The dry fruit yield was found to have significant negative correlation with plant height, days to 50 per cent flowering and stalk length. The capsaicin content and total colouring matter were significantly higher in varieties. Whereas, the ascorbic acid and oleoresin contents were significantly higher in hybrids.The influence of murda syndrome complex resulted in a significant decrease of chlorophyll, total sugars, total phenols and fruit yield in all the varieties, lines and hybrids, but the extent of reduction was more in hybrids and less in GPC-69, GPC-80 among lines, and Jwala among the varieties. It is thus inferred from the present study that, the dry weight of reproductive parts, LAD, SLW, AGR, CGR, HI, number of fruits per plant, 100-fruit weight, number of seeds per fruit, 1000-seed weight, per cent fruit set and fruit girth are important growth and yield parameters for enhancing productivity potential in chilli".
