Effects of Nitrogen Application on Sweet Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) in the Semi-Arid Tropical Zone of India
Sweet sorghum is a multipurpose crop that has great potential as a bioethanol crop. To make an appreciable
profit from cultivating sweet sorghum in the semi-arid tropics (SAT), such agronomic practices
as nutrient management ...
Vermicomposting: Recycling Wastes into Valuable Manure for Sustained Crop Intensification in the Semi-Arid Tropics
Producing more food sustainably from the limited and scarce land and water resources to feed evergrowing
population of 9 billion
people in the world by 2050 is a challenge for the human kind in the 21st century. Neither ...
Production technologies for enhancing sweet sorghum yields
Adoption of good crop and soil management practices are important for maximum productivity and to make the system sustainable in

CALIBRATING CHLOROPHYLL METER (SPAD-502) READING BY SPECIFIC LEAF AREA FOR ESTIMATING LEAF NITROGEN CONCENTRATION IN SWEET SORGHUM
The chlorophyll meter (SPAD-502) is used to estimate nitrogen status of various crops. However,
the relationship between SPAD readings and leaf nitrogen concentration (LNC) in sweet sorghum
(Sorghum bicolor) has not been ...
Soil Testing as a Tool for On-Farm Fertility Management: Experience from the Semi-arid Zone of India
Rainfed agriculture in the dry regions is affected by water shortages. Our earlier
research showed that the deficiencies not only of major nutrients but also those of sulfur
(S) and micronutrients are holding back the ...
