abstract
Effect of various nitrogen management on yield, yield attributes & quality of forage Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.).) revealed that sowing of sorghum with increasing levels of seed rate recorded significantly higher dry matter and green forage yield owing to significant increase of growth attributes over the lower levels of seed rate. The quality parameters viz., nitrogen and crude protein content significantly increased while ADF and NDF significantly decrease with decrease in levels of seed rate. The higher gross return, net return and benefit cost ratio was observed when crop was sown with higher seed rate than lower doses of seed rate similarly increase in nitrogen levels recorded significantly higher dry matter, green forage and crude protein yield. Regarding the quality parameters viz., nitrogen content in plant, crude protein content, cell content and ash content increased while ADF and NDF content of sorghum decrease with increasing levels nitrogen at all cuttings during both the years of experiment.
