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.

    SITE-SPECIFIC NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT (SSNM) IN GROUNDNUT-SUNFLOWER CROPPING SYSTEM
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 41187) DEBINA, SANASAM; SHANKAR, A G
    A field experiment entitled “Site Specific Nutrient Management in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)” was conducted during Rabi season of 2011 at ZARS, UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru. The experimental site was red sandy loam in soil texture. The soil pH was slightly acidic in reaction. The experiment consisted of six treatments laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Application of soil test value based NPK along with limiting micronutrient boron with FYM (5 t ha-1) and Trichoderma has recorded significantly higher seed yield (2367 kg ha-1), oil percent (41%) and oil yield (970 kg ha-1), higher growth and yield parameters viz. plant height (154.8 cm plant-1), stem girth (1.95 cm), head diameter (13.55 cm) and 100 seed weight (4.88 g) over control which was on par with 150 % RDF, 100% RDF with FYM (5 t ha-1) and Trichoderma and soil test value based NPK along with limiting micronutrient boron. Similar trend was observed in uptake of major nutrients (103, 26 and 116 NPK kg ha-1). Application of soil test value based NPK along with limiting micronutrient boron recorded higher B:C ratio (3.43).
