| dc.description.abstract | The field experiments were conducted at Main Agricultural Research Station, Dharwad during kharif 2012-13 and 2013-14 and laboratory experiment were conducted in Department of Seed Science and Technology, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during 2013-14. The results revealed that, the inter row spacing of 30 cm recorded significantly higher seed yield (657.6 kg ha-1) as compared to 45 and 60 cm row spacings. In contrary, inter row spacing of 60 cm recorded significantly higher seed quality parameters as against to other row spacings. Application of 150:60:40 NPK kg ha-1 significantly higher seed yield (641.6 kg ha-1) and seed quality parameters. Whereas, the treatment combination of 30 cm row spacing and 150:60:40 NPK kg ha-1 recorded higher seed yield. The early sowing of crop in July IV week recorded significantly higher seed yield (593.4 kg ha-1), seed germination (39.67%) and seedling vigour index (1065) as compared to later sowings. The intra spacing of 45 x 10 cm recorded higher seed yield (492.4 kg ha-1) as against 45 x 15 and 45 x 20 cm spacings. The combination of July IV week sowing and 45 x 10 cm intra row spacing recorded higher seed yield (598.8 kg ha-1) as compared to other treatment combinations. Among the number of cuttings, uncut crop (control) recorded significantly maximum seed yield (576.4 kg ha-1), seed germination (40.00%) and seedling vigour index (1126) as compared to one, two, three and four cuttings. Seeds treated with KNO3 @1.0 % for 2 hrs found effective in breaking seed dormncy of perennial fodder sorghum cv. CoFS-29. It was recorded significantly higher seed germination (82.33%), seedling vigour index (2303), lesser dormant seeds (5.67 %) and dead seeds (7.00%) at the end of ten months of storage period which was followed by Thiourea @1.0 % for 2 hrs. | en_US |
