1.Evaluation of advanced sorghum genotypes to fetility levels

The application of 100 % RDF (60:30:00 NP kg/ha )

given good response to genotypes than 50 % RDf in

terms of growth and yield contributing characters.

Amongst genotypes CSV 22 R and SPH 1801 showed

good performance

2. Priority inputs in rabi grain sorghumThe full package practice recorded significantly better

performance than other treatments.

3.Effect of seed priming and foliar sprays of nutrients in rabi sorghum

Seed priming with KNO3 and seed priming with KNO3

with DAP sprays @0.2 % were found to be promising

4. Agronomic bio-fortification in rabigrain sorghum

Application of enriched Vermi-compost (i.e. 50 kg

vermin compost + 15.00 kg ZnSo4 and 50 kg Vermi

compost + 15.00 kg FeSo4) given good response in terms

of growth and yield contributing characters.
