Effect of Different Nitrogen Levels and Time of Irrigation on the Fodder Yield of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.)

All nitrogen levels positively affected leaf area per plant, leaf area index, stem thickness and plant height while irrigation timing only significantly (p#0.01)affected stem thickness and plant height.Maximum leaf area per plant (508.64 cm 2 ), leaf area index (317.50),stem thickness (1.314 cm) and plant height (237.30cm) were observed at the highest nitrogen level (120 kg kg N haG 1 ).Similarly the irrigation applied 15 days after sowing resulted maximum stem thickness (1.075cm) and plant height (225.90 cm) when compared with other treatments.The combination between 120 kg N haG 1 and irrigation applied 15 days after sowing resulted significant increase in plant height (261.87cm) as compared to other interactions.It can be concluded from this study that 120 kg haG 1 nitrogen and irrigation applied 15 days after sowing is the best combination in regard to yield parameters.
