Abstract

The total (leaves + stems + ears) DM production/plant in sorghum hybrid CSH-1 increased with decreases in stand density from 666 000 to 333 000 and 222 000 plants/ha and with increases in rates of applied N from 50 to 150 kg/ha; the further increase with 200 kg N/ha was not significant. DM production by leaves and stems increased up to 50 and 70 days, resp., after sowing, and ear and total DM production increased up to maturity. Variation in DM production was ascribed to the differences in rate of DM production, leaf area/plant and leaf area duration
