4. INTRODUCTION Scientific name : Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench . Family : Poaceae Origin : Africa Chromosome no : 2n = 20 Sorghum is one of the most important tropical crop grown in India and best adopted in the region of low rainfall. Sorghum grain contains about 10-12% protine, 3% fat, 70% carbohydrate,vitamins and mineral salts which are essential for effective growth of human life. Sorghum is the world’s fifth-most important cereal crop after rice, wheat, maize and barley. Sorghum is considered as camel crop because of resistance to drought. 4

5. Maharashtra and Karnataka account for 57.25% of Sorghum (Jowar) produced in India. MP, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan & Andhra Pradesh are the next major contributing states. India ranks fifth in total sorghum production with 4.23 million tonnes grown in an area of 3.90 million hectare in 2021-22. It is a key cereal crop globally and act as a source of grain , animal feed, pasturage, fiber, fuel, bioethanol, alcoholic beverage as well as building materials.

Maganur and V.S.Kubsad (2020), College of Agriculture, Dharwad, Karnataka, India J. Farm Sci., 33(2): (188-191) Among all other treatments, application of ZnSO 4 +FeSO 4 @15.00 kg/ha each enriched with FYM recorded higher grain yield (4,132 kg/ha), fodder yield (9.95 t/ha). Same treatments recorded higher Zinc (23.43 mg/kg) and Iron (33.89 mg/kg) content in grain. Growth and Yield indices like plant height (232.7 cm ), total dry matter production (218.9g/plant), test weight (3.02 g),number of leaves/plant (7.7) were also higher with same treatment.

Farm Sci., 30(4): (547-549) Results of the study revealed that soil application of RDF+ Enriched FYM 1 (i.e. 50 kg FYM/ha + 3.75 kg ZnSO 4 /ha FeSO 4 /ha) recorded significantly higher grain yield (4287 kg/ha), fodder yield (7.51 t/ha), gross returns (211924 rupee /ha ),net return ( 85702 / ha ) and BC ratio (3.50) over control, recommended dose of fertilizer and recommended package of practices. The growth and yield parameter viz., leaf area (48.08 dm 2 /plant ),grain weight (62.33 g/plant ) and test weight (37.77 g ) were higher with same treatment. 10
