Abstract
Grain yields of sorghum cv. IS 3541 grown in the rabi [winter] season 1982-3 on a soil deficient in available Fe and Zn from seed left untreated or soaked in distilled water or solutions containing 1 of 2 concn. of (a) zinc sulphate, (b) ferrous sulphate, (c) manganese sulphate, (d) potassium chloride, (d) potassium chloride, (e) diammonium phosphate or (f) potassium dihydrogen phosphate were 3.5 t/ha without mineral treatments, lowest at 2.79 t/ha with 9% (e), perhaps due to depressed germination, and highest at 4.52 t/ha with 2% (b), followed by 4.23 t/ha with 8% (a).
