In the advent of precision agriculture, applying fertilizer based on soil testing is a crucial tool to prescribe nutrient levels for crops, increase use efficiency and production. A field experiment was conducted in farmer's Dindigul district, Southern agro-climatic zone Tamil Nadu ascertain effect artificial fertility gradient method fertility, green fodder production sorghum (Sorghum bicolor ...

Conventional methods of weed control are weather dependent, costly and labour intensive. Indiscriminate use of chemicals for controlling weeds may pose environmental problems. Sorghum allelopathy is a new technique, which has been tested for controlling weeds of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) as a substitute for chemical herbicides to reduce environmental pollution. Mature sorghum herbage contain...

Aluminum (Al) toxicity damages plant roots and limits crop production on acid soils, which comprise up to 50% of the world's arable lands. A major Al tolerance locus on chromosome 3, AltSB, controls aluminum tolerance in sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] via SbMATE, an Al-activated plasma membrane transporter that mediates Al exclusion from sensitive regions in the root apex. As is the case...

in order to evaluate different sources and rates of nitrogen on dry matter yield, concentration and uptake of primary macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium) in forage sorghum (hybrid of speedfeed), three levels of nitrogen (80, 160 and 240 kg n ha-1) from three n sources (urea fertilizer, cattle manure and equal combination of urea fertilizer + cattle manure) and the control (no f...

Manure produced by livestock activity is a dangerous product capable of causing serious environmental pollution. Agronomic management practices on the use of manure may transform the target from a waste to a resource product. Experiments performed on comparison of manure with standard chemical fertilizers (CF) were studied under a double cropping per year regime (alfalfa, model I; Italian ryegr...

Integration of crops and livestock has the potential to provide a multitude of benefits to soil and water conservation and nutrient cycling efficiency, while reducing economic risk and increasing profitability. We conducted a field study from May 2002 to October 2005 to determine crop and cattle responses to three management factors on a Typic Kanhapludult in Georgia, USA. Summer grain/winter c...

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is an important staple food crop in northern Benin. In order to assess its diversity in Benin, 142 accessions of landraces collected from Northern Benin were grown in Central Benin and characterised using 10 qualitative and 14 quantitative agromorphological traits. High variability among both qualitative and quantitative traits was observed. Grain yield (0....

The present study aimed to investigate the influence of Dates sowing and Spacing on Growth Yield Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.). A field experiment was carried out during Zaid season 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Department Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P.) India. treatments consist 1stfortnight June,2ndfortnight J...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. (Moenh) is a technical, food, and fodder crop can be used for various purposes, given its value, the acreage should substantially expanded in Ukraine, elements of cultivation technology thoroughly examined. The purpose study was to determine effect growth regulator on photosynthetic productivity sorghum conditions Right-Bank Forest-Steppe Ukraine. following methods w...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) known as a Camel crop of cereals, is among the dominant staple food grains for majority Ethiopians. Forty nine sorghum genotypes (hybrids + open pollinated varieties) were tested at five locations in simple lattice design with two replications during 2016 main cropping season. The objectives this study to determine yield stability using univariate methods and assess as...
