Abstract

In 1965 and '66, sorghum cv. Giza 114 was sown at 15, 25, 35 or 45 cm between hills, given 0, 100, 200 or 300 kg calcium ammonium nitrate/feddan and thinned at 15, 22 or 30 days after sowing. Plant N content and panicle P content increased with increasing N application. Plant N, P and K contents were not significantly affected by distance between hills or thinning treatments, but delaying thinning from 15 to 30 days reduced the total plant N, P and K contents. [1 feddan = 0.42 ha]
