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.

    AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF FARMING SYSTEMS IN TANK COMMANDS OF NORTHERN KARNATAKA
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2006-12-30) GIREESHAYYA, UDAGATTI; B. N. NAIK
    The study was conducted in three district of northern Karnataka in selected tank commands rejuvenated by Jala Samvardhana Yojana Sangha, with an objective of identifying and analyzing the cost and returns of major farming systems and to study the impact of on-farm demonstrations (OFD)/farmers field school (FFS) on socio-economic conditions of farmers. Multistage random sampling technique was employed to select 144 sample farmers from 12 selected tank commands primary data was collected by personnel interview method. Tabular and production function analyses were employed to analyze the data. The study identified, two major farming systems each in Bagalkot and Koppal districts and three in Haveri district. In each district dairy enterprise was found to be most common as a complementary enterprise. Farming System-I of Koppal district exhibited by highest net returns (Rs.35,645/ha) followed by Farming System-I of Bagalkot district (Rs.31,238/ha). Production function analysis revealed that, inputs such as labour, seeds, fertilizers + FYM and PPG + veterinary charges were under utilized in Bagalkot district. The resources like labour, feed and concentrates and seeds were under utilized in Koppal and Haveri districts. Hence, there is scope for deployment of these resources. In OFD and FFS plots returns were increased over control plots due to reduced cost of cultivation and increased yield. The OFD/FFS conducted have successfully communicated the information on modern crop production technology to farming community. Constraints like non-availability of quality seeds, lack of awareness of recommended cropping sequences, high cost of inputs, lack of credit facility, scarcity of owned funds, low price for the produce and lack of storage facility were most severe in crop production. Hence, there is need to strengthen institutional support for provision of credit, infrastructure facility and formulate appropriate policies for safe guarding the interest of the farmers.

    IMPACT OF BEE ATTRACTANTS ON BEE ACTIVITY AND YIELD PARAMETERS OF Bt COTTON
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2006-12-30) GANAPATHI, K.; SHASHIDHAR, VIRAKTAMATH
    Studies on the impact of bee attracts on bee activity and yield parameters of Bt cotton were carried out during kharif season of 2004 at two locations viz., Main Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad (Location-I) and farmer's field, Maradagi (Location-ll), Honeybees and other pollinators constituted 89.10 and 83.77 per cent, and 10.90 and 16.23 per cent of the total pollinators at Location-I and Location-ll. Peak activity of A. dorsata, A. meilifera, A. cerana, A. florea (2.62, 2-33, 1.82 and 1.95, bees/10 flowers/min, respectively) and other pollinators (1.01 pollinators/10 flowers/min) was observed at 1200 h. Fruit boost spray at both the concentrations attracted significantly more number of A. dorsata, A. meilifera and A. florea upto fifth day after spray during first and second spray and upto third day during third spray. Bee-Q spray was the second best in attracting significantly higher number of bees upto third day during first and second spray and upto one day during third spray. Sugar solution and tuberose scented water were able to entice significantly higher number of bees only on first day after spray.
