Abstract

Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is identified as an industrial crop by virtue of accumulation of fermentable sugars in stem and the stalk syrup is an enriched source of bio ethanol. This experiment was carried out under open field condition to assess the response of different fertilizer levels on growth and yield production of sweet sorghum cultivars (G) in this agro climatic region. The experiment was conducted at Sorghum Research Station Farm, VNMKV, Parbhani during the year 2019-20. Factorial Randomized block design (FRBD) was used for the experiment. The total number of treatment combinations was 09 (F3×G3) replicated thrice and total number of plots become 27. Application of fertilizer level F3 (125% RDF) i.e. 100:50:50 kg/ha recorded highest green & dry fodder yield, GMR which was found at par with F2 level (100% RDF) of fertilizer and found superior over fertilizer level.
