ABSTRACT
A field experiment to study the “Effect of different fertilizer levels on green cane and juice yield and quality of sweet sorghum genotypes” was conducted at Sorghum Research Unit, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola during Kharif season of 2007-08. The treatment consisted were 3 genotypes and four levels of fertilizers. With increase in levels of fertilizer, there was significant increase in uptake and availability of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The NPK uptake by the crop and availability of NPK in soil after harvest of the crop was significantly maximum in treatment (120:60:60 kg NPK ha-1).
Key words :
Available NPK, fertilizer levels, nutrients uptake, Sorghum biocolor, sweet sorghum, total uptake.
