Abstract

2 sorghum cv. were grown at between-plant spacings of 15 or 22.5 cm in rows 45 cm apart and were given 0-75 kg N and 0-50 kg P2O5/ha. The values for plant ht., DM wt./plant, absolute growth rate, LAI and kadbi [dry plants = hay] yields were higher in cv. N.J.156 than in hybrid cv. CSH-1; the values for NAR up to 60 days, grain wt./panicle and grain yield were higher in CSH-1. The increasing N rates increased grain yields from 1.84 to 4.07 t/ha and kadbi yields from 3.47 to 6.17 t/ha in CSH-1 and from 1.13 to 2.131 t and from 13.54 to 21.35 t/ha, resp., in N.J.156. Applied P significantly increased the grain yield of CSH-1 and kadbi yield of N.J.156. The narrow spacing between plants increased the number of panicles/plot, decreased the grain wt./panicle and had no effect on grain yield
