Abstract

In trials in the summer seasons of 1969 and '70, irrigated sorghum cv. M.P. Chari was given soil application of 0, 30 or 60 kg P2O5/ha, and N at 0, 30 or 60 kg/ha was applied as a top-dressing after each cut. Increasing the rates of applied P increased average fresh fodder yields from 47.26 to 58 t/ha in 4 cuts; the yield response to P was significant up to the 3rd cut. Increases in the rates of N applied after any cut caused a linear increase in yields in the subsequent cut
