Abstract

Fodder sorghum and Sudan grass [Sorghum sudanense] depleted soil N appreciably in the 0-2 ft layer, and gave an average above-ground N yield of 62 lb/ac. Bulrush millet [Pennisetum typhoideum] depleted soil N throughout the 0-5 ft profile to give a N yield of 154 lb/ac. Bulrush millet is therefore regarded at Katherine as an outstanding crop for the recovery of deep accumulations of soil nitrate N and their conversion to harvestable fodder protein. F.S.-S.M.J.
