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.

AND THEIR MANAGEMENT(University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 19-08-08) HARISH VARMA, M; SRINIVAS REDDY, K MThe present investigation on insect pests of watermelon, Citrullus lanatus (T.) and their management carried out under field conditions revealed that the major insect pests observed during cropping period were leaf miner, Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess); thrips, Thrips palmi (Karny); whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) and fruit fly, Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett) with mean populations of 3.89±1.88, 9.71±6.25, 3.67±2.77 and 4.91±5.92 respectively. These insect pests prevailed throughout the cropping period, while, red pumpkin beetle, Raphidopalpa foveicollis (Lucas) and leaf eating caterpillar, Diaphania indica (Saunders) were recorded as minor defoliators with mean populations of 0.29±0.34 and 0.27±0.31, respectively. Management of major insect pests with insecticides showed that cyantraniliprole 10.26 % OD was found to be superior over other insecticides against L. trifolii and B. cucurbitae with 79.78 and 48.68 per cent reduction over control respectively. Thiamethoxam 25 % WG was effective against B. tabaci with 87.07 per cent reduction over control. While, two sprays of fipronil 5 % SC was most effective against T. palmi with 76.18 and 76.89 per cent reduction over control during first and second sprays, respectively. Influence of usage of insecticides on natural enemies (spiders, coccinellids) and pollinators (Honey bees) were recorded. The results revealed that Spinosad 45 % SC was the safest insecticide to natural enemies and pollinators compared to all the other insecticidal treatments. Crop sprayed with cyantraniliprole 10.26 % OD recorded highest fruit yield among different insecticidal treatments with 51.83 t/ha. Whereas, the highest B:C ratio was found in fipronil 5 % SC with 3.39.ThesisItem Open Access STUDEIS ON PROPERTIES OF GROUNDNUT GROWING SOILS OF U.K.P (PHASE -I) COMMAND AREA(UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 19-08-98) SANGAYYA, . R. P.; Dasog, Dr.G.S.A sutdy was underteken on groundnut growing red & black soils of UKP (Phase-I) command area in North - eastern dry zone of Karnataka to understand the moiphological, physical and chemical properties and to evaluate their suitability for irrigation and fw cultivation of groundnut Five pedons and fifteen surface soil samples derived from granite gneiss were studied and a lime stone derived black soil pedon was also included for comparision. The soils were deep to veiy deep , sandy loam to loamy sand in texture with colour hue of 2.5YR and 5YR with weakly to moderately developed subangular blocky structure. Red soil contained high sand and low silt content Clay movement was apparent in Narayanpur, Kodekal and kakkera pedons where as Huansigi pedon was clayey throughout the depth. The moisture retention at 33kPa and 1500kPa followed the trend of clay in all the pedons. The pH varied from slightly alkaline to moderately alkaline and increased with depth. The exchangeble calcium was the dominant cation followed by magnesium, sodium and potassimn in all the soils. The available nitrogen content ranged from 123 to 296 kg / ha. The available phos phorous and potassium was medium. The uptake of N was more in red soils than black soils but no such difference was noticed for P and K, A high positive correlation between availabile N , P, K and Calcium of soils and tbeir uptake in kemals was observed. The pod and kemal yield was more in red soils than black soils. The soil suitabibty evaluation for groundnut was attempted based on climatic and soil requirements. The overall suitability was rated as suitable (S2) and sligthly suitable (S3) soils for groundnut in respect of red and black soils, respectively.ThesisItem Unknown SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT OF BIO-PRODUCTS – A CASE STUDY OF CRIYAGEN AGRI AND BIO-TECH Pvt. Ltd.(UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 19-09-15) VINAY KUMAR, P; Girish, M.R.India is an agricultural economy unlike other developed countries, which are industrial economies. The country depends, to a large extent, on agriculture. Crop cultivation sustains almost two-third of the Indian population. India’s economic security continues to be dependent upon the agriculture sector and the situation is not likely to change in the foreseeable future. At present, agriculture supports 58 per cent of the population, as against about 75 per cent at the time of independence. For the same period, the contribution of agriculture and allied sectors to the Gross Domestic Product has fallen from 61 to 19 per cent. Around 51 per cent of India’s geographical area is already under cultivation as compared to 11 per cent of the World’s average. It is generally acknowledged that organic agriculture can contribute to socioeconomic and ecologically sustainable development, especially in developing countries. The market for organic products is growing and offers producers, manufacturers and exporters to improve their incomes and living conditions. The present area under organic farming in India is 2.5 million hectares including certified forest areas and the global area under organic farming is 26 million hectares along with 61 standards and 364 certification bodies. The present world organic market is about 26 billion US$.ThesisItem Open Access STUDIES ON DISTRIBUTION OF CALCIUM, MAGNESIUM, SULPHUR AND BORON IN SOILS OF SELECTED AGROCLIMATIC ZONES OF KARNATAKA(University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 19-08-11) NARENDRABABU, B; SUDHIR, KSoil samples were collected from different locations of northern dry zone, central dry zone, southern dry zone, southern transition zone and coastal zone of Karnataka and were analyzed for available Ca, Mg, S and B. Available Ca, Mg S and B of surface soil ranged from 825 to 1811 mg kg-1, 232 to 340 mg kg-1, 6.39 to 15.22 mg kg-1and 0.328 to 0.631 mg kg-1 in soils of different agro-climatic zones. Available Ca and Mg were highest in soils of northern dry zone and lowest in soils of coastal zone. Available S and B were highest in soils of coastal zone. Available S was lowest in soils of southern dry zone and available was lowest in soil of central dry zone. Available Ca was relatively higher, while available Mg, S and B were relatively lower in the deeper layer of soil as compared to surface layer of soils. Total Ca, Mg and S were much higher in the soils of dry zones as compared to the soils of transition and coastal zone. Coastal zone soils had higher proportion of organic S than soils of the central dry zone and southern transition zone. The four forms of boron together accounted for only 1-2 per cent of total boron in soils of all the five zones. Organic bound boron was relatively higher than those of specifically adsorbed boron and oxide bound boron in soils of most of the zones. Clay and CEC of soil were relatively higher in soils of dry zones as compared to that of coastal zone.ThesisItem Open Access EFFECT OF DIFFERENT LEVELS AND METHODS OF APPLICATION OF BORON WITH AND WITHOUT ZINC ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF FINGER MILLET(University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 19-07-13) CHANDRAKUMAR, M C; SUDHIR, KA field experiment was carried out in a soil deficient in boron and zinc at Zonal Agricultural Research Station, Mandya, to study the effect of different levels and methods of boron application with and without zinc on yield and uptake of nutrients by finger millet. The treatments consisted of application of 275 g and 550 g of borax to the crop through foliar spray with and without soil application of zinc sulphate @ 12.5 kg ha-1, soil application of 10 kg ha-1 and 15 kg ha-1 of borax with and without zinc sulphate @ 12.5 kg ha-1, only zinc sulphate @ 12.5 kg ha-1 and a control. The combined use of two nutrients indicated a synergistic effect on yield and uptake of many of the nutrients element. Its lower level (0.5 per cent foliar spray/soil application borax 10 kg ha-1) indicated a slight positive edge over the higher level (1 per cent foliar spray/soil application of borax15 kg ha-1) on both crop yield and uptake of all the nutrients. Hence, it is very clear from the results of the present study that the use of boron at levels greater than 0.5 per cent borax spray or 10 kg ha-1 soil application may lead to a decline in crop yield due to toxic effect. Use of 0.5 per cent borax spray along with 12.5 kg zinc sulphate proved to be ideal in finger millet in terms of increase in yield and minimizing the residual boron content in the soil wherever continuous boron application at high doses is advocated.ThesisItem Open Access EFFECT OF DIFFERENT SOURCES OF SILICON ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF MAIZE IN SOUTHERN DRY ZONE OF KARNATAKA(University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 19-11-13) VENKATARAJU; Prakash, N BAn investigation was conducted to study the effect of different sources of silicon on growth and yield of maize in southern dry zone of Karnataka. Field experiment was conducted at ZARS, V.C. Farm, Mandya during Kharif 2011, with 15 treatments and three replications using RCBD as a design. A greenhouse experiment was also conducted at GKVK, Bengaluru with seven treatments and three replications to know the uptake of silicon and other nutrients by using calcium silicate and wollastonite as silicon sources. In the field experiment, application of calcium silicate @ 2 t ha-1 + foliar silicic acid @ 4 ml L-1 + FYM resulted in better plant growth and nutrient uptake and also the grain and stover yield of maize. No remarkable change was recorded in pH of the post harvest soil. Calcium silicate application recorded highest concentration and uptake of silicon in grain and straw over other treatments. However, combined application of calcium silicate @ 2 t ha-1 + foliar silicic acid @ 4 ml L-1 recorded highest grain yield of 7700 kg ha-1 and stover yield of 8536 kg ha-1. Application of calcium silicate @ 2 t ha-1 + foliar silicic acid @ 4 ml L-1 recorded highest content and uptake of silicon along with other nutrients. In the green house experiment the treatment receiving wollastonite @ 2 t ha-1 has resulted in higher dry matter yield of maize. Wollastonite application @ 2 t ha-1 recorded higher silicon and other nutrients content and uptake in maize.JournalItem Restricted Internation Crop Report And Agricultural Statistics (Contd.
