Abstract
To detennlne the nltrogen utilization efficiency of sorghum fodder harvested at dlfferent growth stages, an experiment was conducted at the Agronomic Research Area, Unlversity of Agr~iulture, Faisalabad and 11 was observed that the hieght of the plant and number of leaves per plant Increased significantly by the application of nitrogen over control Similarly stages of harvesting differed considerably from one another in these respects. There was a linear increase in green fodder yield as the nitrogen rate was increased from 24 to 48 Kg/acre. Moreover it was observed that there was relatlve increrse in protein and fat contents with the increase of nitrogen rate but these contents were considerably decreased when the crop was harvested 75 days after plantlng
