Abstract

In field trials in the wet seasons of 1973-4 and 1974-5, sorghum cv. CSH-1, CSH-4 and S-302 were grown on a medium black soil at 10, 15 or 20 cm row spacing and were given 50, 100 or 150 kg N/ha. Cv. CSH-4 gave significantly higher fodder and grain yield, plant ht., leaf area and total DM than the other cv. Grain and fodder yield/ha increased with increasing N application and at the highest plant density. Max. yields were obtained by growing CSH-4 at 45 X 10 cm spacing with 150 kg N/ha
