Abstract
Field studies were conducted to determine the effects of three seed rates (50, 60 & 75 kg ha-1) and three rows spacing (15, 30 & 45 cm) on fodder yield of sorghum under rainfed conditions. Days to 50% flowering, was not markedly affected in seed rate x row spacing interaction, while rest of the parameters had significant effects. There were no significant differences in year x seed rate x row spacing interaction for all the characters studied indicating a small effect of the years on relative productivity. Yield was significantly decreased with decreasing seed rate and increasing row spacing. On an average, the greatest fodder yield (77.95 t ha-1) was recorded 75 kg ha-1 (highest) seed rate and narrow (15 cm) spacing, while the lowest green fodder yield (12.39 t ha-1) obtained by the lowest seed rate (50 kg ha-1) and highest row spacing (45 cm).
