Abstract

A field experiment was undertaen during kharif 1991 and 1992 on clay loam soils to workout the response of promising sorghum genotypes to varying phosphotus levels. Hybrid CSH 9 out yielded all other genotypes in grain yield (36.14 q/ha) SPV938 and CSH9 could be used for maximum grain and fodder yield with the application of 60 kg P2O5/ha. The grain, fodder and biological yields improved significantly with the increasing level of phosphorus. Application of 60 kg P2O5/ha resulted in the highest grain (33.16 q/ha), fodder (83.85 q/ha) and biological yields (117.02 q/ha).
