Abstract:
A field experiment was undertaken during summer, 2018 at Post Graduate Instructional Farm, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri, Dist. Ahmednagar (Maharashtra) to study the effect of foliar nutrient management on yield, nutrient uptake and economics of forage sorghum. The results revealed that, the application of GRDF (Gross Recommended Dose of Fertilizer) along with foliar application of 2% urea at 40 days after sowing recorded significantly higher green fodder yield (589.83 q ha^-1), higher gross returns (Rs. 117966 ha^-1) and net returns (Rs. 76620 ha^-1). Also the application of GRDF along with foliar application of 2% urea, 2% DAP and 0.5% 0:0:50 at 40 days after sowing recorded higher uptake of N, P and K respectively.
