Micronutrients Mn and Zn are essential elements required in trace amounts, although they play an important role plant growth. This study aimed to investigate the impact of manganese (Mn) zinc (Zn) fertilizer on growth productivity sorghum. was conducted farmer’s field at Pasar 6 Kwala Mencirim Village, Sei Bingai District, Langkat Regency, North Sumatera started December 2020 until April 2021. ...

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), a US Department of Energy model species, is widely considered for US biomass energy production. While previous studies have demonstrated the effect of climate and management factors on biomass yield and chemical characteristics of switchgrass monocultures, information is lacking on the yield of switchgrass grown in combination with other species for biomass en...

Sorghum bicolor is an important grain species used for food and feed production, where P a key element/nutrient in production. The effect of increasing phosphorus doses to sorghum Cerrado soil with sandy texture low fertility conditions was evaluated. study conducted at the Pântano Farm, Jataí, Goiás, Brazil. cultivar AG 1085. 0 (control), 40, 80, 120, 160 kg ha-1 P2O5 were used, whose source t...

Studies were carried out in 2005 and 2006 raing seasons at four locations (Abakaliki, Ezzamgbo, Ikwo and Okposi) within the Abakaliki Agro-ecological zone of southeastern Nigeria, to determine their suitability for the production of lettuce. The measurements included weather elements, soil physico-chemical propertiesand crop growth and yield. The data collected were subjected to statistical ana...

greatest proportion of the beneficial effects of crop rotation, but other factors, including reduced weed, disease, Increased N availability is often associated with the beneficial efand insect problems, can also be important. fects of rotating grain and legume crops. Our objective was to utilize yield response data from two long-term studies to determine the Corn is now commonly grown in a 2-y...

BACKGROUND Sorghum types suitable for brewing and bioethanol production are required. The effect of sorghum type (white non-tannin versus white type II tannin) on free amino nitrogen (FAN) production from sorghum grain and malt using exogenous protease enzymes was investigated over extended incubation at moderate temperature (45 °C). RESULTS With grain in the absence of exogenous proteases, w...

Seedlings of both KS8 and N32 sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] were high in dhurrin [p-hydroxy-(S)-mandelonitrile-BD-glucoside] and thus in hydrocyanic acid potential (HCN-p), but the HCN-p of mature leaves from field-grown plants of KS8 was only about one-tenth as high as that of N32. A study of the inheritance of this large difference between KS8 and N32 revealed that a single major gene...

Optimal flowering time is critical to the success of modern agriculture. Sorghum is a short-day tropical species that exhibits substantial photoperiod sensitivity and delayed flowering in long days. Genotypes with reduced photoperiod sensitivity enabled sorghum's utilization as a grain crop in temperate zones worldwide. In the present study, Ma(1), the major repressor of sorghum flowering in lo...

to study the effect of glyphosate application rate and timing on johnsongrass (sorghum halepense) vegetative and reproductive growth, three experiments were conducted in field, greenhouse, and laboratory in the agronomy department of university of tehran, karaj, in 2007 & 2008. in each experiment, treatments were arranged in completely randomized (greenhouse & laboratory) and completely randomi...
