Abstract:The experiment included two sorghum varieties, four salicylic acid (SA) rates, and three application times in a factorial design. Following foliar application of 0.5 or 1mM salicylic acid (SA), stem borer severity and stem lodging percentage were significantly reduced compared to controls (distilled water). For Meko, applying 0.5mM SA after 30 days of planting resulted in a 15% increase in grain yield above the control. Similarly, the application of 1Mm SA, 15 days after planting, increased the grain yield of … Show more
