Indian Agriculture has witnessed a significant transformation in recent years, with the adoption of the latest trends and technologies. Precision farming, organic farming, biotechnology and mechanization are some of the latest trends in Indian Agriculture. These innovations help farmers increase crop yield, improve product quality and reduce environmental impact. As India modernizes its agricultural practices, it is poised to become a global leader in sustainable Agriculture.
Agriculture and you would be surprised to know that the systematic Agriculture was started by women! This paved the way, later, for the institution called family resulting in societal living. What is more, as Man began to live in communities, he gradually learnt to innovate, discover, create, develop rear and cultivate many things including culture. Though fundamentally everything else changed, including the methods of farming, toil and production of agricultural produce have not changed. Like the calves hitting the udders of the cows, farmers too plough the fields with so much of care and affection.
Shivamogga District has varied agro climatic conditions congenial for growing various field and horticultural crops. The college would help the farming community in the state in general and Shivamogga in particular by way of producing well trained man power, genuine agricultural inputs and information from time to time for over all development of rural community. College of Agriculture, Shivamogga started in 1990 for B.Sc. (Agri) course as part of ruralisation of Agricultural Education under the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore and became part of the KeladiShivappaNayakaUniversity of Agricultural & Horticultural Sciences, Shivamogga from September 2012.The college campus is located at Navile about 5 km away from Shivamogga town on Savalanga road.

About Department of Entomology:
Post graduation with only Master Degree in the Department of Entomology was started in Shivamogga campus during the year 2002-2003 under erstwhile University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, Bangalore. After bifurcation from parent university, Ph. D., degree was included from 2013 onwards. A total of 117 M Sc graduates and 23 PhDs have completed their degree from the department so far. The department is DST-FIST funded in the year 2016, since then, state of art molecular insect systematics laboratory, Insecticide toxicology and vector entomology laboratories were established. The faculty of Department were the first to report invasive insects such as fall armyworm, Spodopterafrugiperda on maize and woolly whitefly, Aleurothrixusfloccosus on guava and fruit infesting mango gall midge. Studies are being undertaken for developing IPM strategies against tomato pin worm, Phthorimaeaobsoluta, mite pests of various crops, leafy vegetables and Tobacco. As maize is the major crop in the university jurisdiction, research on fall armyworm is being conducted with the support of University funding, and many outcomes are published in high rated International Journals. Development of Integrated Pest Management strategies for Arecanutwhitegrubs, Leucopholislepidophora is the major contribution from the department. With the taxonomic expertise, two new species of termites and an earwig species has been described and published. More than 100 barcodes of different species of insects have been submitted to NCBI so far.Conducted international seminar on Termites and White grubs on October 13, 2022.

Microbiology
Microbiology is a fascinating branch of biology with applications in several fields right from past, present and in future also. The microbes include a great diversity of living forms; the only standard feature among them being their microscopic in size. These microbes are ubiquitous and are all-pervading on our planet; they are present in high abundance in the soil where they find moisture, nutrients, and temperature for their growth. Microbes make up most of the biodiversity on Earth, and several of the processes which microorganisms perform are of critical importance for the cycling of nutrients, the degradation of various compounds, and the global climate. Knowledge of microbes in the environment helps mankind to develop ecosystem services and to find strategies to utilize our agricultural natural resources in a long-term sustainable manner.
The department of Microbiology is one of the department in College of Agriculture, Navile, Shivamogga which is under Keladi Shivappa Nayaka University of Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences, Shimoga. The Department is contributing in all three wings of the university viz., Teaching, Research and Extension.

Center Information:
The Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (MBB) was incepted in 2012 at veteran locale university of agricultural and horticultural sciences, college campus of shivamogga (CoA) as the flagship center for molecular biology and biotechnology under the division of plant sciences with special emphasis on producing economically demanded premium crops of horticultural importance. The department MBB has strived to develop tissue culture techniques related for mass production of Banana coupled with indigenous fruit crops and standardization of TC protocols for western ghat derived native of wild relative orchids, which are premium importance in across the globe. Another facet of the state-of-the-art technologies is to optimise the strategic therapeutic inventions in achieving the plant homeostasis against arms race from the end of pathogen.
To this end, the MBB operates 3 strategic teams: tissue culture team, molecular tool team and an analytical coupled animal model research team consisting of interns and pre-master students.
Mission Statement:
The mission of the Department MBB is to conduct world-class TC research, facilitate collaborative research worldwide and provide high level education and training in TC to fulfil the needs and expectations of the scientific and agrarian communities. We are committed to conducting global TC coupled analytical services with respect to plant and endophytic microorganisms to identify and characterize disease biomarkers. We strive to be leaders in the development of TC technologies that integrate approaches from the molecular to the in vivo level of the plant system. Addendum to it, members of the laboratory focus their efforts on developing innovative and appropriate TC methods to culture premium wild plants relatives of orchids, which are appellate binding to western ghat of our country.
We work together and openly share ideas, using a multidisciplinary research and educational approach. The laboratory successfully manages long-term project collaboration within the university contained departments in multitude ways and also planned to have some from different institutes or universities within the country or around the learned laboratories of the world.
