Effects of Soil Moisture and Nitrogen Fertilization of Irrigated Grain Sorghum on Dry Matter Production and Nitrogen Uptake at Selected Stages of Plant Development1

G. M. Herron, D. W. Grimes and J. T. Musick2

Synopsis: During seedling to crown root stages daily dry matter production was 30 to 50 pounds per acre and N uptake about 1 pound; both were increased only slightly by N fertilizer. During crown root through flowering stages increased growth and N uptake rates were further increased by irrigation and N fertilization, ranging from 240 to 340 pounds and from 4 to 6 pounds, respectively. Maximum production and N uptake occurred between soft and hard dough stages.
