Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Sorghum genotypes differed for all measured variables in both years.
- Association Nitrogen rate by sorghum genotype effects were not significant.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen fertilizer increased sorghum plant nitrogen content.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen fertilizer increased sorghum grain yield.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen fertilizer decreased sorghum nitrogen use efficiency for total biomass.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen fertilizer decreased sorghum nitrogen use efficiency for grain production.
- Intervention effect An early freeze in 1993 reduced later maturing sorghum genotype grain yields.
- Observation All sorghum genotypes reached full yield potential in 1994.
- Association High-NUE sorghums yielded more than low-NUE sorghums averaged over N levels only in 1994.
- Association High- and low-NUE sorghum groups did not differ in linear nitrogen response.
- Association Sorghum hybrids had a significantly greater linear grain yield increase with nitrogen rate than lines.
- Recommendation The authors infer that selection for high-NUE sorghums will not diminish nitrogen responsiveness.
