Two field experiments were carried out at the Agricultuer and Experiments of moshtohor during 1992 and 1993 seasons. This study aimed to/md
oui يh eJfrct qf three planting methods (‘broadcast, in rows and on
furrows) using four differe,i seeding rates (7.5. 15.0. 22.5 and 30
kgfecl.) and Iwo nitrogen application levels (‘30 and 60 kg N fed.) on
fodder sorghum yield and ils compoiiei?I.s Pioneer 988 cultivar was
used for this siudi,. Results could he summari:ed as follows.
l’/cniting sorghum in rows reduced fresh and dry weight of
weeds per square meter/or the two dits. The highest ‘aha’.v of leaf so
