Abstract
Sorghum was sown at 24.7, 49.4 or 74.1 kg seed/ha and was given 24.7, 49.4, 74.1 or 98.8 kg N/ha with half applied at sowing and the rest as a top-dressing 45 days later. DM production and chemical composition of the DM were determined 6 times at 15-day intervals beginning 15 days after sowing. Increases in N rates and seed rates were accompanied by linear increases in DM production, but the increases were greater in the earlier than in the later growth stages. The different seed rates gave nearly similar DM yields at the end of the season. CP and moisture contents in the fresh fodder increased with increasing N, and gradually decreased with age on all plots. The CP content was slightly higher on plots sown with low than with high seed rates. MSM.
