Effect of plant
population on grain yield of sorghum in South Kordofan
Ali El-Toum Hassan
Abstract:
A three-year experiment was carried out in south Kordofan region during
1999, 2000 and 2001 growing seasons to study the effect of four
population densities on seed yield of four sorghum cultivars. The
varieties did not show significant differences in the head weight and
number of heads/m2, but differed significantly in number of days to 50%
flowering, plant height and grain yield per hectare. The effect of plant
density was significant for plant height, number of heads/m2 and seed
yield/ha. All cultivars gave their highest yield under the highest
density (125000 plants/ha), and the variety Wad Ahmed out- yielded the
other three cultivars. The interaction between the cultivar and plant
density did not significantly affect the grain yield.
