Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Bio-fertilizers being essential components of organic farming play vital role in maintaining long term soil fertility and sustainability.OBJECTIVES: Study yield and growth indices of sorghum in response to consume chemical fertilizer and Nitroxin bio-fertilizer.METHODS: This research was conducted via split plot experiment based on completely randomized block design with three replications in research field of Ahvaz Islamic Azad University. Pure nitrogen from urea source was used as the main plot in four levels (0, 50, 100, 150 kg.ha-1) and Nitroxin bio-fertilizer was used as sub plot in two levels (lack of use of bio-fertilizer and use of 1 L.ha-1 Nitroxin per 200 kg seeds). RESULT: According result of analysis of variance effect of different level of nitrogen and Nitroxin on seed yield, biologic yield and harvest index was significant at 1% probability level but interaction effect of treatments on harvest index was not significant. Assessment mean comparison of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer indicated that the highest seed yield (341 g.m-2), biologic yield (1218 g.m-2) and harvest index (28%) belonged to the treatment with consumption of 150 kg.ha-1 nitrogen and the lowest amount of seed yield (200 g.m-2) biologic yield (1045 g.m-2) and harvest index (20%) was for non-consumption of nitrogen (control). Use 1 L.ha-1 Nitroxin led to achieve highest seed yield (324 g.m-2), biologic yield (1185 g.m-2) and harvest index (27%) compare to control treatment. The highest leaf area index was obtained in the application of bio-fertilizer compared to non-consumption (4.5), and the non-use of biological fertilizer with a maximum leaf index was 3.8. Net assimilation rate in the use of biological fertilizer at 25 days after planting the equivalent of 10 gr.m-2 per day started and in the 47 days after planting, it was 6.3. The non-use of biological fertilizerbegan at 8.1 after 25 days after planting and reached 6.1 in 47 days after planting.CONCLUSION: So finally consume 150 kg.ha-1 chemical nitrogen fertilizer with 1 L.ha-1 Nitroxin bio-fertilizer advised for farmers.

Assessment Effect of Different level of Nitrogen Fertilizer (Urea Source) and Interval between Irrigation Round on Crop Production of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L., cv. Speed feed)

BACKGROUND: Nutrients play a very important role in chemical, biochemical, physiological, metabolic, geochemical, biogeochemical, and enzymatic processes. Innovations for saving water in irrigated agriculture and thereby improving water use efficiency are of paramount importance in water-scarce regions. Conventional deficit irrigation is one approach that can reduce water use w...

Effect of Plant Density and Nitrogen Fertilizer on Some Attribute Ofgrain Sorghum (Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench)

A field experiment was conducted in 2010, to evaluate the effects of plant density (D1, D2 and D3: 8, 14 and 20 plant/m2) on field performance of Sorghum under different nitrogen application rates (N1, N2 and N3: application of 40, 80 and 120 kg/ha Nitrogen, respectively). The experiment was arranged as factorial based...

Effects of ethephon on growth and yield of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) at different growth stages

There is little information about the effects of ethephon ripening hormone on the yield of sweet sorghum in Thailand. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of ethephon hormone applied at different growth stages of three cultivars of sweet sorghum on its growth and yield. The experiment was conducted from December 2016 to May 2017 at a research plot of the Faculty of Agricultural Te...

Dynamics of Fertilizer Nitrogen Applied to Sweet Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) in the Semi-Arid Tropics

Although sweet sorghum is in focus as a promising multi-purpose crop in semi-arid tropical regions, information on optimum nitrogen (N) management remains rather limited. To determine and understand the N dynamics in sweet sorghum-soil ecosystem, we evaluated the N recovery of applied fertilizer in the Alfisol field during the 2009 and 2010 rainy seasons. Sweet sorghum was grown under six N rat...

Evaluation Effect of Different level of Nitrogen and Cutting Height on Morphological Traits, Seed Protein Content and Prussic Acid Concentration of Sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor L., cv. Speed feed)

BACKGROUND: Nitrogen is a crucial component of plant nutrition, and its deficiency limits productivity of crops more than any other element. To manage the sorghum crop for achievement of maximum forage production, the farmer should be concerned about nitrogen requirement and plant height. OBJECTIVES: This research was carried out to evaluate response of m...
