Abstract

A feld experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2003 and 2004 at Research Farm of M M P G Collage, Kalakankar, Pratapgarh (U. P.) to study the optimum level of nitrogen and best suitable variety of sorghum for grain as well as stover yield for rainfed areas of central Uttar Pradesh.. Sorghum hybrid variety MSH-51 proved signifcantly superior in respect of grain yield and variety Sundhia (Local) proved their superiority in respect of Stover yield over the other varieties included in the study. Account of all the treatments, highest net income (Rs. 22, 057.60 and 25, 125.43) observed in T4 (V1 N60) treatment during both the year of experiment. The beneft-cost ratio was also superior with this treatment.
