III. Research Highlights of Mega Projects (RKVY / GoK)

i. Formulation of microbial consortia for combating nutrient and biotic stress inimportant crops of northern Karnataka and for biofortification of vermicompost

As many as 14 different bacteria were assessed for their in vivo compatibility amongstthemselves. Based on plant assay in maize, the following strains were selected for developingconsortia 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 cropsnamely 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 toattain 10 8 cells and mixed at equal proportions. The consortium was sprayed @ 4 per centat 30 DAS and 45 DAS.

The effect of these treatments on plant height, chlorophyll content in terms of SPADvalues, 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 Rockphosphate @ 5 per cent , Microbial inoculum @ 2 per cent and the moisture maintained:30per 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 sixdifferent crops under field conditions, indicated that 2ml of Rhizobium and 2 ml ofPhosphate solubilizing bacterium per kg seeds for legumes and 4 ml of Azospirillum and 2ml of Phosphate solubilizing bacterium per kg seed of cereals were found to be effective andoptimum.

ii. Introgression breeding for foliar disease resistance using cultivated and wild speciesin groundnut and disease/drought tolerance in major field crops through markerassisted selection

Groundnut More than 60 backcrosses, introgression and recombinant inbred lines have been

identified as productive and late leaf spot and rust resistant lines over respectivechecks.

RILs of TAG 24 × GPBD 4 were genotyped with 139 AhTE markers, while the RILsof TG 26 × GPBD 4 were genotyped with 67 AhTE markers

LLS and rust resistance were mapped.Rice

Microsatellite marker RM242, linked to root length has been validated for droughttolerance on the superior drought tolerant genotypes developed using diverse geneticmaterial in rice.

Rice microsatellite marker, RM6858 and RM206 have been validated for blastresistance on the superior blast resistant genotypes developed using diverse geneticmaterial in rice.

Sunflower Superior segregants were identified from the two F2 populations of sunflower for

drought tolerance based on relative water content & SPAD readings. Genotyping ofF2 population is under progress using 20 polymorphic markers.

Tomato SSR marker, TG0302 linked to ToLCV resistance has been identified and validated.

Further, backcross programme to transfer the resistance to the released variety/iesstarted. First backcross has been completed and BC1F1 seeds were sown to identifythe positive plants.

Mungbean and urdbean Resistance gene homologues were tested for transferability in 13 and 12 genotypes of

mungbean and urdbean respectively. Two putative markers specific to MYMVresistance in mungbean were identified.

SSR marker CEDG245 showing strong association with pod shattering has beenidentified in mungbean and F2 mapping population involving shattering and non-shattering parents is being studied.

Wheat Three homozygous progenies/lines derived from cross between DWR162 and NIL

PBW343 were identified carrying both Lr24 and Lr28 genes conferring leaf rustresistance.

Similarly, Five BC2F1s derived from GW322 and NIL PBW343 and 20 from C306and NIL PBW343 were found to have both genes and advanced to BC2F2 generation.

Phenotypically confirmed six resistant segregants from cross between MP-3299 andNIL PBW343 are being confirmed at molecular level

Maize Three SSR markers viz., mmc0411, dupssr 10 and bnlg 1422 found to be co-

segregating with the Turcicum Leaf Blight resistance have been identified byscreening of F2 population derived from the cross BM125 [S] X BM135 [R].

Similarly, in another research programme, seven SSR markers co-segregating with theTurcicum Leaf Blight resistance have been identified in the F2 population of the crossDMIL26 [R] X DMIL17 [S]. Further, these markers can be utilized for MAS uponvalidation

These results revealedthat we have to grown these genotypes in different location in different zones analysed nutrients andit found higher nutrition to particular region then easy to apply for GI tags for particular genotype thatencourage is to file GI tags for DHFM -78-3 (finger millet), DHFt-109-3 and Halnavane (foxtailmillet) and DHLM-36-3 (little millet) but we grown these genotypes in different location and differentzones for nutritive analysis.

v. Conservation Agriculture for Sustainable Crop Production and Soil FertilityManagement in Rainfed Areas

The fixed site experiments were initiated during 2013-14 at UAS, Dharwad underrainfed conditions on medium deep black cotton soils. Conservation tillage plots weremaintained 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 tillplots 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

45

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 andhelp to build greater stability under rainfed situation. Conservation tillage, residue retention,with legume crop intensification eliminates unsustainable part of conventional agriculturalsystem and is crucial for sustaining productivity and conservation of natural resources underrainfed farming.

vi. Precision farming in selected field crops

Precision farming in cotton: Based on initial nutrient status grids were divided in to fourdifferent management zones (LHH, LMH, LLH and MHH) by following nearestneighborhood technique .The required soil nutrient maps were generated based on sitespecific 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 andnitrogen in three equal splits (33.3 % each as Basal, 60 and 90 DAS respectively) . Thetarget yield was reduced due to short fall of rain fall at 30 DAS and terminal moisture stressduring 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 beenachieved 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 controlrecoded 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) . Basedon this two management zones were delineated as LMH and LHH. Each grid was allottedwith five target yields - 60, 80, 100, 120 and 140 q/ ha. Organic carbon varied between 0.28to 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 treatmentsdiffered significantly with respect to precision nutrient managementthrough target yieldapproach. The significantly higher grain yield (131.3 q ha-1) of maize was obtained withprecise 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).

vii. Performance of maize hybrids released from public and private organizations duringkharif 2015-16

Twenty nine maize hybrids released from private and public organizations weretested over the locations during kharif2015-16 and results revealed that among the 29hybrids tested DKC - 9141 has given the highest maize yield of 78.56 q/ha followed byDKC- 9133 (75.53 q/ha), Prince (72.88 q/ha) and Crystal (71.92 q/ha) as compared to theother hybrids. The performance of these hybrids differed in different stations.UnderDharwad situation, Pinnacle has given significantly higher maize yield (125.6 q/ha) whichwas 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 ofGadag, Koppal and Vijayapur Districts

Forty one micro watersheds from Gadag district, 10 micro watersheds from Koppaldistrict and 42 micro watersheds from Vijayapur district under batch V of IWMP and 11micro watersheds from Gadag district, 31 micro watersheds from Vijayapur district and 27micro watersheds from Koppal district under batch VI of IWMP (Total 162 mws) are allottedto UAS, Dharwad for land resource inventory.

Remote sensing satellite images of the micro watersheds are interpreted based onimage 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 identificationof 27, 38 and 12 Soil Series respectively. The area representing each Soil Series is divided into 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 andmapped at 1: 7920 scale. In addition to the above physical characteristics certain chemicalproperties are also analyzed in the composite soil samples collected at 250 m grid intervalwhich include; soil pH, EC and OC, nutrients such as N, P, K, S and micronutrients. Soilfertility maps are prepared by GIS technique and interpreted. The important soil fertilityconstraints identified are; organic carbon, available N, P, S, Fe and Zn. The fertility maps arebeing shared with Joint Director of Agriculture of Gadag, Koppal and Vijayapur districts fordistribution of Soil Health cards. Ground water quality is also assessed for irrigationsuitability and being communicated to farmers.

Each management unit is evaluated for Land capability and Land suitability for fieldcrops and horticultural crops and suitability maps are prepared. None of the crops are highlysuitable for the area due to climate and soil limitations. The field crops moderately suitablefor the micro watershed areas of Gadag and Koppal district are; Maize, Pearl millet,Sorghum, Groundnut, Sunflower, Sesamum, Cotton, Chilli, Pigeonpea, Cowpea, Greengramand Chickpea. The fruit crops highly suitable for the micro watershed areas of Gadag Koppaland Vijayapur district are; Amla and Custard apple. The fruit crops moderately suitable forthe micro watershed areas of Gadag Koppal and Vijayapur district are; Cashew, Guava,Jamun, Mango, Lime, Musambi, Sapota and Tamarind. The suitability maps for horticulturalcrops and nutrients maps are being shared with Department of Horticulture, Gadag, Koppaland Vijayapur districts for planning of horticultural activities. The LRI activities are extended

47

to cover Gadag and Vijayapur taluka by December, 2018. Atlases for each Micro watershedare prepared, submitted to Government of Karnataka and uploaded in the university website.

Item No. 1 : Ratification of Charging Fees for field inspection and issue ofcertificate to private companies

Proposed by : Director of Research, UAS, Dharwad

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 fieldinspection 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
