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.

    IDENTIFICATION OF CONTINGENT CROPS FOR DELAYED SOWING UNDER CHANGED CLIMATE IN DRYLAND AGRICULTURE
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BANGALORE, 2019-07-22) MADAM VIKRAMARJUN; SEENAPPA, C.
    A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2018 on “Identification of contingent crops for delayed sowing under changed climate in dryland agriculture” at Dryland Agriculture Project Unit, GKVK, Bengaluru, Karnataka. The experiment comprised of two factors laid out in Factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (FRCBD) with three replications. Treatments consisted of two factors. i.e., sowing windows and crops. Sowing windows consists of August 2nd fortnight, September 1st fortnight and September 2nd fortnight and the crops included were foxtail millet, finger millet, field bean, french bean and quiona. Date of sowing decides the availability of weather conditions mainly temperature, light and humidity to the plants which have great influence on expression of growth characteristics in plants. Delayed dates of sowing caused drop in growth parameters which may be due to unfavorable weather conditions to the plants which might have caused in lower rate of photosynthesis and reduced accumulation of food materials. Among the contingent crops, french bean is the most efficient contingent crop suitable for delayed sowings during August 2nd fortnight, September 1st fortnight and September 2nd fortnight for obtaining higher vegetable yield (2394, 1822 and 1150 kg ha-1, respectively) and rain water use efficiency (14.08, 10.98 and 8.16 kg ha-mm-1, respectively). French bean has obtained higher finger millet equivalent yield (1789 kg ha-1), net returns (` 33191 ha-1) and BC ratio (2.62) compared to field bean, finger millet, foxtail millet and quinoa.
