Abstract
In field trials in 1968-70 with sorghum cv. CSH-1 and M. 35-1, the effects of different levels of N, P and K on content and uptake of nitrogen were studied. Sorghum contained the max. N content of 2.57% at 25 days old and this declined to 0.96% at maturity. At this stage N content of grain, leaf and stem was 1.49, 0.89 and 0.49%, resp. During the reproductive stage, N content decreased in leaves and stems and increased in the panicle. N uptake/plant increased with age and the crop removed 164.5 kg N/ha at maturity. Fertilizer N and P but not K increased N content and uptake, although grain N uptake was increased by up to 65 kg K/ha. The N content and uptake of the 2 cv. were compared
