Abstract
In trials with sorghum cv. MP Chari grown in the spring seasons of 1971-2 on a loam soil, fresh fodder and DM yields were reduced significantly by withholding irrigations during the establishment (0-30 days after sowing), vegetative lag (31-55 days after sowing) and/or flowering stages. The vegetative lag stage was the most critical in its demand for assured water supply, whereas the other 2 stages could tolerate mild stress. For highest yields the crop needed a supply of water to maintain available soil water at or about 60% of availability in the 60-cm deep root zone of the soil
