Field experiment was conducted to study the response of fertilizers and organic manure on Growth, Yield and quality of sweet sorghum with four levels of fertilizers (Control, 40:20:20:,80:40:40 and 120:60:60 NPK kg ha-1) and five levels of organic manures (No manure, VC 2.5t ha-1, VC+ Azospirillum, VC + PSB, VC+ Azospirillum+ PSB) . Results indicated that application of 120:60:60 NPK kg ha-1 recorded the highest plant height, dry matter accumulation, leaf area, grain yield, green cane yield and juice yield, and application of 80:40:40 NPK kg ha-1 recorded the highest values of TSS, pH, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar and total sugar percentage of sweet sorghum juice. Application of vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 along with seed treatment of Azospirillum and PSB enhanced the growth characters and produced highest yield and enhanced the quality.

Abstract


Field experiment was conducted to study the response of fertilizers and organic manure on Growth, Yield and quality of sweet sorghum with four levels of fertilizers (Control, 40:20:20:,80:40:40 and 120:60:60 NPK kg ha-1) and five levels of organic manures (No manure, VC 2.5t ha-1, VC+ Azospirillum, VC + PSB, VC+ Azospirillum+ PSB) . Results indicated that application of 120:60:60 NPK kg ha-1 recorded the highest plant height, dry matter accumulation, leaf area, grain yield, green cane yield and juice yield, and application of 80:40:40 NPK kg ha-1 recorded the highest values of TSS, pH, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar and total sugar percentage of sweet sorghum juice. Application of vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 along with seed treatment of Azospirillum and PSB enhanced the growth characters and produced highest yield and enhanced the quality.
