Abstract
Leaf samples were taken from corn and grain sorghum being grown in adjacent fields with the same soil type and with the same cultural practices insofar as possible. The samples were analyzed for N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn and Mn. Results show that the nutrient composition of the leaves of corn and grain sorghum were consistently different for most nutrients. The differences were sufficiently great and consistent to strongly suggest that critical nutrient levels need to be established for grain sorghum instead of using diagnostic criteria established for corn.
