Abstract

Of twelve Sorghum bicolor varieties grown in pots in either soil that resulted in chlorosis because of low soil iron content or in normal soil, A3197, A398 and A399 were the most susceptible to chlorosis, while Tx7078, Tx660, Rs681 and Rs630 were the least susceptible. The twelve varieties included five hybrids and their parents, and the degree of chlorosis in the hybrids was either intermediate or less than either parent. The sodium, potassium, calcium and phosphorus content of shoots was not related to the susceptibility to chlorosis
