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.

    (University of Agricultural Science, BANGALORE, 1996) DODMANI, M T; MUNDINAMANI, S M
    Karnataka is one of the leading states in the country in the production of mulberry silk. An attempt was made in the present study to analyse the economics of mulberry cultivation and silk cocoon production in Jewargi taluk of Gulbarga district. Mainly primary data~ was used for evaluating the objectives of the study. The required primary data was elicited from 97 sericulturists at random, spread over five villages of Jewargi taluk. Tabular analysis was used to compute costs and returns in mulberry cultivation and silk cocoon production. Production function analysis was carried out to assess the resource use efficiency in mulberry cultivation. The per hectare establishment cost of mulberry garden was Rs. 6,534.17. The total maintenance cost of mulberry cultivation per hectare was Rs.l9,766 of which the operational cost accounted for 70 per cent and rest was fixed cost. The gross and net returns from mulberry cultivation were Rs.32,858 and Rs.l3,091 respectively. The returns per rupee of investment was Rs.l.66. The total cost of silk cocoon production was Rs.36,364 • per hectare. The operational cost accounted for over 98 per cent. On an average, 923 kg of silk cocoons was obtained by rearing 2400 laying in one hectare of mulberry crop per annum. The gross and net returns realised from silk cocoon was Rs.87,952 and Rs.51,588 respective l y. The major problems encountered by t h e sericulturists in mulberry cultivation were shortage of irrigation water during summer and attack of pests and diseases for mulberry crop. In silk cocoon production, non-availability of disease free laying, shortage of rearing equipments and attack of uzifly were the major problems. The problems of water shortage could be reduced by intensive use of available water by adopting drip or sprinkler irrigation systems. The pest and disease problem in sericulture enterprise can be controlled by educating the farmers on timely use of appropriate chemicals and disinfectants.
