Formulation of microbial consortia for combating nutrient and biotic stress in important crops of northern Karnataka and for biofortification of vermicompost As many as 14 different bacteria were assessed for their in vivo compatibility amongst themselves. Based on plant assay in maize, the following strains were selected for developing consortia and their subsequent evaluation under field conditions.

Rhizosphere consortium no. 1: Gluconacetobacer, PSB, KSB, Zn SB, Si SB, PGPR JK16, PPFM 32 and LAB 75.

Rhizosphere consortium no. 2: Azospirillum sp. , PSB, KSB, Zn SB, Si SB, PGPR JK16, PPFM 33 and LAB 75. Phyllosphere consortium: Actinomycete 502, Actinomycete 248, Actinomycete A34 Actinomycete PSA5, Actinomycete PSA7, Actinomycete UPM3, PPFM 33, PPFM 58, LAB 75 LAB 82, LAB LS 36 The developed rhizosphere and phyllosphere consortia were field tested in five crops namely Wheat, Sorghum, Chickpea, Groundnut and Brinjal. Method of application: 1. Seed treatment @ 4 ml of RC 1 or RC 2/kg seed. 2. Soil application @ 2.5 L/ acre after mixing with 250kg FYM and applied to root zone. 3. Phyllosphere consortium was prepared by cultivating all the organisms individually to attain 10 8 cells and mixed at equal proportions. The consortium was sprayed @ 4 per cent at 30 DAS and 45 DAS.

The effect of these treatments on plant height, chlorophyll content in terms of SPAD values, number of branches, nodule number and weight (in case of groundnut and chickpea) biomass and yield were determined.

Biofortification of vermicompost was done by blending vermicompost with Rock phosphate @ 5 per cent , Microbial inoculum @ 2 per cent and the moisture maintained:30 per cent. The Microorgnisms used were 1. Azotobacter (nitrogen fixer) 2. Azospirillum(nitrogen fixer) 3. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria 4. Potash solubilizing bacteria 5. Zinc soubilizing bacteria Dose standardization of the developed liquid formulation of biofertilizers in six different crops under field conditions, indicated that 2ml of Rhizobium and 2 ml of Phosphate solubilizing bacterium per kg seeds for legumes and 4 ml of Azospirillum and 2 ml of Phosphate solubilizing bacterium per kg seed of cereals were found to be effective and optimum.

iv. GI tagging in small millets based on their nutritive value AGS for Small Millets

In foxtail millet improved variety DHFT-109-3 exhibit higher protein(11.76%) and iron (54.29mg/100g)content ans Halnavane also contain higher iron (49.356 mg/100)content.DHLM-36- 3(improved little millet variety)exhibited higher manganese (3.63mg/100g)and iron( 70.74mg/100g).DHFM-78-3(Improved finger millet variety)noticed higher manganese (5.94mg/100g)while,iron (49.56mg/100g) content in Halnavane. Higher iron (70.74 mg/100g) and manganese (3.63 mg/100g) found in DHLM 36-3 improved variety of little millet. Improved variety of finger millet viz,. DHFM-78-3 showed higher manganese (5.94 mg/100g). These results revealed that we have to grown these genotypes in different location in different zones analysed nutrients and it found higher nutrition to particular region then easy to apply for GI tags for particular genotype that encourage is to file GI tags for DHFM -78-3 (finger millet), DHFt-109-3 and Halnavane (foxtail millet) and DHLM-36-3 (little millet) but we grown these genotypes in different location and different zones for nutritive analysis. v. Conservation Agriculture for Sustainable Crop Production and Soil Fertility Management in Rainfed Areas The fixed site experiments were initiated during 2013-14 at UAS, Dharwad under rainfed conditions on medium deep black cotton soils. Conservation tillage plots were maintained permanently with plot size of 15 m length and 9 m width and in no till plots, rotoslasher was used for crop residues to shred and retain on the surface and in reduced till plots residues were incorporated with rotovator . Conservation agricultural practices mainly reduced tillage, residue cover/ incorporation and legume cover crops soybean and groundnut as intercrops in cotton and 44 pigeonpea and sequence cropping of Maize- chickpea, Groundnut-sorghum and soybean- wheat have enhanced the productivity (25 -30%), increased soil organic carbon (25- 50%), water holding capacity by 30-35% and available nitrogen, phosphorus and Potassium and help to build greater stability under rainfed situation. Conservation tillage, residue retention, with legume crop intensification eliminates unsustainable part of conventional agricultural system and is crucial for sustaining productivity and conservation of natural resources under rainfed farming. vi. Precision farming in selected field crops

Precision farming in cotton: Based on initial nutrient status grids were divided in to four different management zones (LHH, LMH, LLH and MHH) by following nearest neighborhood technique .The required soil nutrient maps were generated based on site specific nutrient management (SSNM) concept by considering soil available nutrient status, crop uptake/ ton of seed cotton yield, and the target yield (15, 20, 25 and 30 q/ha). N, P2O5 and K2O were applied based on uptake studies in the form of urea, DAP, SSP and MOP. 50% of P2O5 and K2O have been applied in two splits as basal and top dressing at 60 days and nitrogen in three equal splits (33.3 % each as Basal, 60 and 90 DAS respectively) . The target yield was reduced due to short fall of rain fall at 30 DAS and terminal moisture stress during critical crop growth stages.

Target yield 30 q ha-1 has recorded significantly higher seed cotton yield (28.4 q/ha) over other target yields i.e 15, 20, 25 q ha-1, RDF and absolute control. Yield of 24.7 q ha-1 was achieved in target yield of 25 q ha-1. Yield of 22.3 q ha-1 and 17.6 q ha-1 have been achieved in target yield 20 q ha-1 and RDF respectively. However, target yield of 15 q ha-1 and RDF (17.6 and 17.4 respectively) were on par with each other. Whereas, absolute control recoded significantly lower Kappas yield (7.1 q ha-1).

Precision farming in Maize : Nutrient status for the entire study area was low in nitrogen, medium to high in phosphorus and high in potash (LMH: zone 1 and LHH :zone 2) . Based on this two management zones were delineated as LMH and LHH. Each grid was allotted with five target yields - 60, 80, 100, 120 and 140 q/ ha. Organic carbon varied between 0.28 to 0.746%. The initial nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium varied from 72.9-160.9: 28.9- 54.2: 570.2-1212.5 kg/ha respectively thus resulting in LMH management zone. Target yield levels achieved with 60, 80, 100, 120 and 140 q/hatreatments were 76.5, 87.95, 101.35, 115.0 and 126.9 q/ha respectively in LMH management zone. The treatments differed significantly with respect to precision nutrient managementthrough target yield approach. The significantly higher grain yield (131.3 q ha-1) of maize was obtained with precise application of nutrients required for target yield of 140 q ha-1 over all treatment. Whereas, absolute control recoded significantly lower grain yield (27.7 q ha-1).

45 vii. Performance of maize hybrids released from public and private organizations during kharif 2015-16 Twenty nine maize hybrids released from private and public organizations were tested over the locations during kharif2015-16 and results revealed that among the 29 hybrids tested DKC - 9141 has given the highest maize yield of 78.56 q/ha followed by DKC- 9133 (75.53 q/ha), Prince (72.88 q/ha) and Crystal (71.92 q/ha) as compared to the other hybrids. The performance of these hybrids differed in different stations.Under Dharwad situation, Pinnacle has given significantly higher maize yield (125.6 q/ha) which was on par with the DKC 9141 (124.5 q/ha) followed by KHMH 101 (123.5 q/ha), Crystal (122.2 q/ha), DKC 9133 (120.9 q/ha) and Ranger (120.9 q/ha) compared to the other hybrids. viii. Sujala-III project: Support for improved programme integration in rainfed areas of Gadag, Koppal and Vijayapur Districts Forty one micro watersheds from Gadag district, 10 micro watersheds from Koppal district and 42 micro watersheds from Vijayapur district under batch V of IWMP and 11 micro watersheds from Gadag district, 31 micro watersheds from Vijayapur district and 27 micro watersheds from Koppal district under batch VI of IWMP (Total 162 mws) are allotted to UAS, Dharwad for land resource inventory. Remote sensing satellite images of the micro watersheds are interpreted based on image tone and texture. Based on the surface heterogeneity, land resource inventory in Gadag (49 MWS) Koppal (37 MWS) and Vijayapur (42 MWS) districts resulted in the identification of 27, 38 and 12 Soil Series respectively. The area representing each Soil Series is divided in to Soil phases or Management units based on slope, erosion, soil texture and gravelliness. The extent of each Management unit is delineated by traversing and boundary checking and mapped at 1: 7920 scale. In addition to the above physical characteristics certain chemical properties are also analyzed in the composite soil samples collected at 250 m grid interval which include; soil pH, EC and OC, nutrients such as N, P, K, S and micronutrients. Soil fertility maps are prepared by GIS technique and interpreted. The important soil fertility constraints identified are; organic carbon, available N, P, S, Fe and Zn. The fertility maps are being shared with Joint Director of Agriculture of Gadag, Koppal and Vijayapur districts for distribution of Soil Health cards. Ground water quality is also assessed for irrigation suitability and being communicated to farmers. Each management unit is evaluated for Land capability and Land suitability for field crops and horticultural crops and suitability maps are prepared. None of the crops are highly suitable for the area due to climate and soil limitations. The field crops moderately suitable for the micro watershed areas of Gadag and Koppal district are; Maize, Pearl millet, Sorghum, Groundnut, Sunflower, Sesamum, Cotton, Chilli, Pigeonpea, Cowpea, Greengram and Chickpea. The fruit crops highly suitable for the micro watershed areas of Gadag Koppal and Vijayapur district are; Amla and Custard apple. The fruit crops moderately suitable for the micro watershed areas of Gadag Koppal and Vijayapur district are; Cashew, Guava, Jamun, Mango, Lime, Musambi, Sapota and Tamarind. The suitability maps for horticultural crops and nutrients maps are being shared with Department of Horticulture, Gadag, Koppal and Vijayapur districts for planning of horticultural activities. The LRI activities are extended

46 to cover Gadag and Vijayapur taluka by December, 2018. Atlases for each Micro watershed are prepared, submitted to Government of Karnataka and uploaded in the university website. ix. Status of Bt cotton Research under KSSC-UASD program Karnataka State Seeds Corporation (KSSC ) and University of Agricultural Sciences , Dharwad are working collaboratively to develop potential Bt cotton Hybrids based on Monsanto BG-II technology (Mon15985 (Cry 1 Ac + Cry2Ab event) under RKVY funded project “Development and Introduction of Bt Cotton hybrids through Public sector agencies in Karnataka through KSSC in co-ordination with UAS, Dharwad”. The progress made so far is significant in conversion of public sector bred cotton hybrids at UAS Dharwad. BGII trait introgression was initiated during 2013-14 at ARS Dharwad on parents of fourteen elite cotton hybrids (10 HH +4HB) nominated by UAS Dharwad and UAS Raichur.

Preamble :

In the recent times, the private companies are approaching the University for inspection of crops in the fields or the seeds for the presence/absence of specified diseases/insect pests/weed seeds and request for issue of necessary certificate to apply for phytosanitory certificate from Plant Protection and Quarantine Department. Accordingly, the University may have to depute the concerned scientist/s to make field visit and send necessary report. In this context, a meeting was held on 19.01.2017 involving Associate Director of Research (HQ) and Associate Director of Extension and concerned HOD’s to discuss on the matter and it was resolved to depute a team of scientists for field/seed inspection on cost basis. In one case, the field visit has already made owing to the need considering the stage of the standing crop. Hence, the proposal.

Proposal :

For inspection of crops in the fields or the seeds for the presence/absence of specified diseases/insect pests/weed seeds as desired by the private companies, a team of scientists may be deputed on cost basis as detailed below..

1. Upon request of the company, a need based team of scientists will be deputed for field inspection for which the company has to provide logistic facilities. 2. The company has to pay a fee of Rs.50,000 per location for the first visit and Rs.25,000 for the subsequent visit with extra service tax. 3. In addition to the above, for laboratory studies, an amount of Rs. 5,000 per parameter per location will be charged with extra service tax. 4. The necessary report or certificate may be issued to the concerned.

The action has already been initiated with pending approval of Research Council. Hence, the Research Council is requested to consider the proposal for ratification and indicate its decision.
