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.

    SMALL RUMINANT VALUE CHAIN ANALYSIS - A STUDY OF SHEEP REARING ALONG SOUTH TRANSECT OF BENGALURU
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 1-01-31) K., NISHMITHA,; GIRISH, M.R.
    The present study was conducted in South Transect of Bengaluru (Bengaluru Urban and Ramanagara districts) to map the sheep value chain; to assess the financial viability, production efficiency of sheep enterprise and marketing of sheep; to analyse the consumer preference for sheep meat; and to identify the constraints in sheep rearing. The major actors in sheep value chain in the study area were input suppliers, sheep rearers, butchers, and consumers. The total cost incurred and the gross returns realised per annum for rearing a flock size of 51 sheep was ₹ 2,86,384.62/- and ₹ 4,29,364.83/-, respectively, resulting in a net returns of ₹ 1,42,980.21/-. Labour was the major cost accounting for about 49 per cent of the total variable cost. At 12 per cent discount rate, the NPW, BCR and IRR were found to be ₹ 3,36,569.23/-, 1.24 and 36 per cent, respectively, indicating the financial viability of sheep rearing. In the study area, two channels were prevalent for marketing of sheep, viz., Channel I: Farmer – Farmer and Channel II: Farmer – Butcher – Consumer. Majority (50 %) of the sample sheep farmers sold their sheep exclusively through Channel I while 37.50 per cent of the sheep farmers sold their sheep exclusively through Channel II. Tenderness was the most important factor influencing the purchase of sheep meat by sample consumers. The incidence of diseases and lack of organised marketing facility were the major constraints faced by sheep rearers.

    STUDIES ON INSECT PEST COMPLEX OF WATERMELON Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) AND THEIR MANAGEMENT
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 19-08-08) HARISH VARMA, M; SRINIVAS REDDY, K M
    The 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.

    ANALYSIS OF THE PERCEPTIONS OF THE ROLE OF THE SUBORDINATE AND SUPER-ORDINATE WITH RESPECT TO AUTHORITY, RESPONSIBILITY, AND DELEGATION IN THE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS OF FLINT AT THE ATTENDANCE CENTER LEVEL
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BANGALORE, 1973) Bobby M. Mitchell
    In this study the writer sought to determine if significant differences exist between the perceptions of the principals and community school directors with respect to the variables authority, responsibility, and delegation as measured by the following instruments: Responsibility, Authority and Delegation Scales; Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire; The Job Satisfaction and Job Expectations Questionnaire. The RAD Scale measures how the individual perceives his responsibility, authority, and delegation. A (P) value of <.05 would indicate harmony or dissonance based on a significant or insignificant statistic when analyzed. The Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire commonly referred to as (LBDQ) is an instrument that measures the perception of one leader in the formal organization by another leader in the formal organization or by himself. The pronoun (I) may be substituted for (He), if one uses the instrument to measure himself. The Job Satisfaction Scale measures satisfaction with school, administration, and recognition. The Job Satisfaction Scale is counted as one variable even though it has three parts. The Job Expectations Scale measures expectations concerning work, advancement, friends' attitudes, pay, freedom on the job, family attitudes, and job security The sample of this study included the entire population of the elementary principals and community school directors in the inner-city of Flint, Michigan. There are 44 elementary principals and 42 community school directors in the elementary schools of Flint, Michigan. Because of the special nature of two of the schools, teachers who acted in the capacity of community school director in their respective building are included in this study. One school was an elementary school for the mentally retarded students, therefore, the board could not justify the employment of a full-time director. Another school was a school for the academically talented, therefore, a full-time director could not be employed for that school.
