Abstract
Sorghum cv. CSH 1 and pearl millet cv. HB 1 were grown in sand culture and given 0.01, 0.05, 0.1 or 0.5 mmol Fe/l. DM yield of sorghum increased with increasing Fe application to 0.5 mmol Fe/l, compared with a max. DM yield of pearl millet at 0.1 mmol Fe/l. Visual Fe deficiency symptoms and reduction in chlorophyll content were more severe in sorghum, indicating a higher Fe requirement. Fe uptake and translocation from roots to shoots was more efficient in pearl millet than in sorghum
