Abstract

Tests with eight Pennisetum americanum varieties differing in drought tolerance in pot and sand culture and laboratory conditions revealed that BD32 was the most efficient at utilizing applied P fertilizer, while BD111 and CD1193 were the most efficient at utilizing P from the soil. Ca accumulation was higher in the drought-tolerant varieties BD32, AD12-6, HB3 and CK2457 than in the intolerant varieties under sand culture conditions
