Abstract
In 1972 and '73, Dinanath grass (Pennisetum pedicellatum) cv. PP 3 and PP 10 and sorghum cv. JS 20 were given 0, 80 or 160 kg N/ha and 0, 17.5 or 35 kg P/ha. In all treatments the leaf:stem ratio was higher in Dinanath grass than in sorghum and the former had a higher herbage CP content and a lower CF and NFE content. Application of 80 kg N/ha reduced av. CP content but application of 160 kg N/ha increased CP content by 25% over the control. Dinanath grass gave higher yields of ME than sorghum, which increased linearly with N levels. The nutritive ratio in Dinanath grass was 10 compared with 22 in sorghum and was reduced with 160 kg N/ha
