Abstract

Planting patterns and different cultivars play a significant role in forage crops quality and productivity. Therefore, we conducted a field experiment under different planting patterns and cultivars to evaluate sorghum crop yield, yield components, and quality at Agronomic Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan, in 2015. The experiment consists of three sorghum cultivars (Jawar 2002, Sorghum-2011, and JS-2002) with a seed rate of 75 kg ha-1 at different planting patterns (P1=60 cm × 20 cm, P2=50cm × 24 cm, and P3=340 cm × 30 cm). Results showed that sorghum 2011 resulted in higher growth and qualitative attributes than other cultivars. For example, increase in plant height (237.11 cm), dry weight plant-1 (40.61 g), forage yield (57.66 ton ha-1), crude protein contents (6.12 %), fiber contents (32.12 %) and ash contents (8.73%) was observed in sorghum 2011 as compared to other cultivars. Whereas, among planting pattern P3 (40 x 30 cm ) produced maximum plant height (236.33 cm), leaves plant-1( 13.66), stem diameter (1.09 cm), forage yield (55.52 ton ha-1), dry matter yield (18.53 ton ha-1) and crude protein contents (6.06 %) as compared to P1 and P2. This study suggested that the cultivar sorghum 2011 with a planting pattern of 40 x 30 cm is a promising option to improve yield, yield components and quality of sorghum crop.

高粱产量及对不同种植方式和品种的定性响应

种植方式和品种对饲料作物的品质和产量有重要影响。因此，我们于2015年在巴基斯坦费萨拉巴德农业大学农学系农艺研究农场进行了不同种植模式和品种下的高粱作物产量、产量构成和品质评价的田间试验。试验选用3个高粱品种(Jawar 2002、sorghum -2011和JS-2002)，在不同种植模式(P1=60 cm × 20 cm, P2=50cm × 24 cm, P3=340 cm × 30 cm)下，播种率为75 kg ha-1。结果表明，2011年高粱的生长和品质指标均高于其他品种。例如，与其他品种相比，2011年高粱的株高(237.11 cm)、干重(40.61 g)、产草量(57.66 t hm -1)、粗蛋白质含量(6.12%)、纤维含量(32.12%)和灰分含量(8.73%)均有所增加。与P1和P2相比，P3 (40 × 30 cm)种植模式的株高(236.33 cm)、叶片(13.66 cm)、茎粗(1.09 cm)、饲料产量(55.52 t ha-1)、干物质产量(18.53 t ha-1)和粗蛋白质含量(6.06%)最高。本研究表明，种植面积为40 × 30 cm的2011型高粱是提高高粱产量、产量构成和品质的理想选择。

期刊介绍： Journal of Soil, Plant and Environment is an open peer-reviewed journal that considers articles and review articles on all aspects of agricultural sciences. Aim and Scope Journal of Soil, Plant and Environment (ISSN: 2957-9082) is an international journal dedicated to the advancements in agriculture throughout the world. The goal of this journal is to provide a platform for scientists, students, academics and engineers all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in different areas of agricultural sciences. All manuscripts must be prepared in English and are subject to a rigorous and fair peer-review process. Accepted papers will appear online within 3 weeks followed by printed hard copy. Journal of Soil, Plant and Environment (ISSN: 2957-9082) publishes original papers including but not limited to the following fields: Soil–plant relationships; crop science; soil science; biometry; crop, soil, pasture, and range management; crop, forage, and pasture production and utilization; turfgrass; agroclimatology; agronomic models; integrated pest management; integrated agricultural systems; and various aspects of entomology, weed science, animal science, plant pathology, and agricultural economics as applied to production agriculture. We are also interested in: 1) Short Reports– 2-5 pages where the paper is intended to present either an original idea with theoretical treatment or preliminary data and results; 2) Book Reviews – Comments and critiques of recently published books in agricultural sciences.
