Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Nitrogen is a crucial component of plant nutrition, and its deficiency limits productivity of crops more than any other element. To manage the sorghum crop for achievement of maximum forage production, the farmer should be concerned about nitrogen requirement and plant height. OBJECTIVES: This research was carried out to evaluate response of morphological traits, seed protein content and prussic acid concentration of Sorghum to different level of urea fertilizer and cutting height. METHODS: Current study was conducted via split plot experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications along 2012 year. The main factor included three level of urea fertilizer (200, 300 and 400 kg.ha-1) and three level of cutting height (7, 12 and 14 cm) belonged to subfactor. RESULT: Result of analysis of variance revealed effect of different level of urea fertilizer, cutting height and interaction effect of treatments on all studied characteristics was significant at 5% probability level. Assessment mean comparison result of interaction effect of treatments on all measured traits indicated the maximum amount of seed yield (693 gr.m-2), panicle length (15.43 cm), stem diameter (15.90 cm), plant height (174.73 cm), prussic acid concentration (276.96 ppm) and seed protein concentration (10.90%) were noted for 400 kg.ha-1 urea and 7cm of cutting height and lowest amount of mentioned traits belonged to 200 kg.ha-1 urea and 17cm of cutting height treatment. CONCLUSION: Generally result of studied research revealed 400 kg.ha-1 urea fertilizer and 7cm cutting height had the highest amount of studied characteristics and it can be advice to farmers.

Assessment Effect of Different level of Nitrogen Fertilizer (Urea Source) and Interval between Irrigation Round on Crop Production of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L., cv. Speed feed)

BACKGROUND: Nutrients play a very important role in chemical, biochemical, physiological, metabolic, geochemical, biogeochemical, and enzymatic processes. Innovations for saving water in irrigated agriculture and thereby improving water use efficiency are of paramount importance in water-scarce regions. Conventional deficit irrigation is one approach that can reduce water use w...

Effect of harvest time on morphological traits and yield of dual-purpose sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) promising lines

To assess the productivity potential of dual-purpose (grain-forage) sorghum promising lines at different harvesting times, a field experiment was carried-out using randomized complete block design with three replications in six locations (Karaj, Mashhad, Isfahan, Birjand, Shiraz, and Gorgan) Iran, during 2017 and 2018 growing seasons. Morphological traits and yield of seven dual purpose sorghum...

Effect of Plant Density and Nitrogen Fertilizer on Some Attribute Ofgrain Sorghum (Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench)

A field experiment was conducted in 2010, to evaluate the effects of plant density (D1, D2 and D3: 8, 14 and 20 plant/m2) on field performance of Sorghum under different nitrogen application rates (N1, N2 and N3: application of 40, 80 and 120 kg/ha Nitrogen, respectively). The experiment was arranged as factorial based...
