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.

    STUDIES ON EFFECT OF NANO ZINC OXIDE AND NANO FERRIC OXIDE ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF RICE UNDER AEROBIC CONDITION (Oryza sativa L.)
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 2022-10-01) NAVEEN KUMAR, C; JAYADEVA, H M
    To optimize the quantity of nano ZnO and nano Fe2O3 required for higher yield in aerobic rice, three experiments were carried in the laboratory, field and pot experiments during 2019-20 at Agronomy field unit, Zonal Agricultural Research station, University of Agricultural sciences, GKVK, Bangalore. Laboratory experiment with twenty-one treatments were laid out in CRD and replicated thrice. Seed priming with 800 ppm of nano ZnO and nano Fe2O3 for 30 minutes was recorded higher germination (96.73%), root length (13.89 cm), shoot length (5.17 cm) and SVI (1843). In field, nine treatments were laid out in RCBD with three replications. Results revealed that seed priming with 800 ppm of nano ZnO and nano Fe2O3 for 30 minutes followed by foliar application of nano ZnO and nano Fe2O3 @ 800 ppm recorded significantly higher plant height at 60, 90 DAS and at harvest (49.18, 61.96 and 62.68 cm, respectively), leaf area at 60 and 90 DAS (1509.7 and 3436.2 cm2 plant-1, respectively), higher grain yield (4927 kg ha-1), straw yield (5383 kg ha-1) and higher gross return (Rs. 1,03,923 ha-1). Whereas, higher B:C ratio was recorded in seed priming with nano ZnO and nano Fe2O3 @ 800 ppm for 30 minutes (2.89). In pot experiment, twelve treatments were laid out in CRD with three replications. Foliar application of nano ZnO and nano Fe2O3 @ 600 ppm recorded significantly higher plant height at 60, 90 DAS and at harvest (44.63, 57.57 and 60.45 cm, respectively), number of productive tillers (21.04), total grains (165.40), grain yield (8560 kg ha-1) and straw yield (9989 kg ha-1)
