Effect of Nitrogen Fertilization on the Productivity and Sensitivity of Two Sweet Sorghum Varieties to Pink Stem Borer (Sesamia cretica led.) Infestation
Abstract:Two field experiments were conducted at Agriculture Faculty farm of Demo (29°17 N; 30°53 E) El-Fayoum University, Egypt, during 2013 and 2014 to study the effect of three nitrogen rates, i.e. 80, 100 and 120 kg N/fed. on the damage cause by pink stem borer infestation [Sesamia cretica Lederer (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)] under natural infestation, on stem characteristics, quality and yield traits. In addition to theoretical ethanol production of two sweet sorghum varieties (Brandes and Honey).Data obtained reveal… Show more
