Abstract

Double cropping with maize or sweet corn followed by sorghum was compared with sorghum followed by its ratoon crop in field trials on fine sandy loam in 1971-4. Average DM yields for sorghum (1st crop), maize and sweet corn, based on 4 cultivars in each case, were 17.19, 12.86 and 7.08 t/ha, respectively. The sorghum ratoon crop gave 6.38 t, sorghum following maize 8.02 t and sorghum following sweet corn 8.65 t/ha. In 1973-4, total grain yields for any crop combination were not significantly different, though total forage yields decreased in the order forage sorghum + ratoon crop > maize/sorghum > sweet corn/sorghum
