ABSTRACT

A pot experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2017-18 at the Department of Agronomy, School of Agriculture,
Lovely Professional University, Punjab, India to study the evaluation of plant height (cm) and leaf length (cm) of sorghum grown under diverse range of fertilizers. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design with three replications. Plant height (cm) significantly increased by 19.3, 23.30 and 11.8% with respect to T0 (Control), respectively, at 30, 60 and 90 DAS. Leaf length (cm) in T1 (recommended dose of fertilizers) significantly increased by 19.9, 29.05 and 28.91% with respect to T0 (Control), respectively, at 30, 60 and 90 DAS.
