Download or read book Effects of Plant Population Density and Nitrogen Fertilizer Application on Sorghum and Soybean Planted as Monoculture and Intercrop written by K. Bunpromma and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The leaf area index (LAI), dry matter production, and grain yield of sorghum were influenced by population density, level of nitrogen applied and system of planting. In soybean, the LAI and dry matter at early stage of growth were controlled by population density while at later stage of growth, they were affected by system of planting. The yield of soybean was affected by system of planting and the population of sorghum grown together in the sorghum-soybean intercrop. Level of nitrogen applied had no effect on LAI, dry matter production, and grain yield of soybean. Plant height of sorghum was affected by level of nitrogen and system of planting at early stage of growth but no effect was found at later stage of growth. On the other hand, height was found to beaffected by level of nitrogen at early stage of growth and at the later stage it was influenced only by system of planting. Higher plant was found in the intercrop soybean when compared to the monocrop planting. The percent nitrogen content of sorghum or soybean, both seed and stover, were not affected by level of nitrogen, population density, and system of planting, but the total nitrogen uptake of both sorghum and soybean was found to be affected by population density and system of planting. The total nitrogen content was higher in the intercrops than the monoculture of either sorghum or soybean. This implies that intercropping gives more benefit in terms of more efficient absorptions of nitrogen. Nitrogen utilization was highest with the application (...).
