High Nitrogen, Low Cutting Height Boosts Sorghum Yield and Protein Levels
The study looked at how different levels of nitrogen fertilizer and cutting height affect the growth and quality of sorghum plants. They found that using 400 kg/ha of urea fertilizer and cutting the plants at 7 cm height resulted in the highest seed yield, plant height, stem diameter, and protein content. On the other hand, using 200 kg/ha of urea and cutting at 17 cm height led to lower plant characteristics. This suggests that farmers should consider using higher levels of nitrogen fertilizer and cutting the plants at a lower height to get the best results from their sorghum crops.
