“…The current study was in confirmation of number of grains per head playing a major contributive role towards grain yield of sorghum. ) but significantly higher than the grain yield (2433 kg ha -1 ) obtained from row spacing at 60 cm apart (Table 1).Similar response to row spacing has been reported in previous studies where similar row spacing produced higher yields of sorghum grains (Stickler & Laude, 1960;Steiner, 1986), forage (Stickler & Laude, 1960) and other crops such as soybean (De Bruin & Pedersen, 2008). Higher biomass production of sorghum crop with a narrower row spacing of 19cm has been mentioned by Snider et al (2012), and the phenomenon might be due to the better light interception (Steiner, 1986) and decreased inter-row competition between pants (De Bruin & Pederson, 2008).…”

“…Reducing the distance between rows improves weed control (Walker & Buchanan, 1982) by increasing crop competition and reducing light transmission to the soil (Andrade et al, 2002). Narrow row spacing results in higher grain yields in soybean (De Bruin & Pederson, 2008) and in other crops (Stickler & Laude, 1960). Narrow row spacing resulting in higher yield is explained by the improved light interception (Steiner, 1986) and decreased plant to plant competition between plants (De Bruin & Pederson, 2008).…”

An experiment to investigate the effect of seed rate (5, 7.5, 10, 12.5 and 15 kg ha , number of grains per head and grain yield. Row spacing had non-significant effect on stem diameter, number of heads per plant and 1000-grain weight. Row spacing at 30 cm produced the highest number of plants m -2 and plant height. Plant height increased with increase in seed rate in all the row spacing. Stem diameter decreased with increase in the seed rate and row spacing. Narrow row spacing (30 cm) and low seeding rate (5 kg ha -1 ) produced the maximum grain yield consistently during both years. Lower yields were recorded in the treatments having greater row spacing (60 cm) and higher seed rates (7.5, 10, 12.5 & 15 kg ha -1 ). Higher seed rates and wider row spacing induced morphological changes rendering plants to lodging.

“…Effect of row spacing on water uptake was not considered in soil water balance simulations. As increase in plant population increased the water uptake and reduced evaporation losses (Stickler and Laude, 1960), higher water requirement might have increased water stress in narrow row spacing (45 cm) which in turn affected crop growth and yield parameters (Table 2). Berenguer and Faci (2001) reported that low plant population resulted in greater tiller production, number of grains per panicle and higher weight of grain which would compensate for the lower number of plants.…”

ABSTRACTwas also significantly higher than that from NTJ 2 (US$ 415 ha -1 ) and ICSV 93046 (US$ 539 ha -1 ). All cultivars responded to applied N up to 150 kg ha -1 ; however beyond 90 kg ha -1 N rate, the increase in yield was insignificant. Estimated N use efficiency (NUE) values indicated that 90 kg N ha -1 was an optimum N level for sweet sorghum crop. Simulated soil water balance components revealed that reduction in total transpiration due to water stress was 20 to 45% compared to the no-stress. In case of water use efficiency, CSH 22 SS showed the highest economic returns per unit volume of water input. Based on these results, it is concluded that sweet sorghum hybrid CSH 22 SS at 90 kg N ha -1 is the best remunerative combination for maximizing yield, economic returns and resource use efficiency.

“…Stickler and Laude (1960) reported no differences in forage sorghum silage yield in row spacings of 51 to 102 cm, whereas Sullivan (1961) found that forage sorghum yielded more in narrow than in wide rows. Sudangrass seeded in narrow rows tillered to compensate for fewer plants and thus increased yield (Roller and Scholl, 1968).…”

S U M M A R YThe effects of sowing pattern and seed rate on the green-chop yield of forage sorghum-sudangrass hybrid (cv. Pioneer 988) and forage sorghum (cv. Abu Sabeen) were investigated. In general, more green-chop yield was obtained from seed of both cultivars drilled in regular rows, double rows and triple rows than when traditionally sown as broadcast seed.Yields were greater when plants were sown at 70 kg seed ha" 1 than when traditionally sown at 35 kg seed ha" 1 . These yield advantages were sustained through three successional harvests. Pioneer 988 generally yielded more than Abu Sabeen, especially when sown in January. Both cultivars gave minimum yield when sown in April, July or October. R E S U M E N -S U M A R I OSe investigaron los efectos de padrones de siembra y tasas de semillas, en el rendimiento de forraje de sorghum-sudanes hibrido cortado en verde (cv. Pioneer 988) y forraje de sorghum (cv. Abu Sabeen). En general, se obtuvo mayor rendimiento cortado en verde de semillas, en ambos cultivos, cuando ellos fueron sembrados en hileras regulares, doble y triple hileras que cuando las semillas fueron sembradas en forma tradicional, al voleo. Los rendimientos fueron mayores cuando se sembro 70 kg de semillas por hectarea que en la forma tradicional de 35 kg de semillas por hectarea. Estas ventajas de rendimiento se mantuvieron durante tres estaciones sucesivas. Pioneer 988 rindio, en general, mas que la Abu Sabeen, especialmente cuando sembrada en Enero. Ambos cultivos entregaron un rendimiento minimo cuando sembrados en Abril, Julio u Octubre.Early work in the Sudan reported first harvest yields of 71 t ha" 1 green-chop from forage sorghum on fertile ground and with heavy irrigation, the second and third harvest adding another 59 t ha" 1 (Bacon, 1948). However, such yields were exceptional and yields of 24 t ha" 1 followed by 12 t ha" 1 were about average. More recently, lower yields of 8 and 3.9 t ha" 1 dry matter have been reported in non-saline and saline soils, respectively (Kambal, 1972;El Karouri and Mansi, 1980).In the semi-arid tropics the optimal planting time for forage sorghum is from February to October (El Karouri and Mansi, 1980). In temperate regions, higher dry matter yields were obtained from sudangrass grown at temperatures of 26.6 and 32.2°C than at 21.1°C (Sullivan, 1961). The seasonal distribution of dry matter production of sorghum-sudangrass hybrid cv. Sudax SX-1 was altered by variations in planting date (Beuerlein et al., 1968).Rate of seeding and row spacing studies with sudangrass and forage sorghum have yielded mainly inconclusive and variable results (Burger and Campbell, 1961;Holt, 1965). Stickler and Laude (1960) reported no differences in forage sorghum silage yield in row spacings of 51 to 102 cm, whereas Sullivan (1961)
