Abstract
The seeds of sorghum X Sudan grass cv. Grazer A are 4-5 times heavier than those of pearl millet cv. Gahi-1. Experiments were carried out in 1966-8 in which Grazer A was sown at 28, 56, 84, 112 or 140 kg/ha, compared with the standard 28 kg/ha for Gahi-1. Yields were not significantly different in 1966 and '67; in 1968 yields of Grazer A were highest at the 28-kg/ha rate and tended to decrease at higher sowing rates. Analysis of leaves and stems in 1968 for CP, ether extract, CF and ash showed slight differences only; Gahi-1 had a higher leaf ash, stem CF and stem CP than Grazer A at any sowing rate. In general there was no advantage from sowing Grazer A at a rate higher than 28 kg/ha.
