Other claims from this paper (17)
- Intervention effect Higher irrigation and nitrogen enhanced sorghum height, grain weight and grain number.
- Intervention effect Higher irrigation and nitrogen enhanced grain yield.
- Observation Grain yield reached 7120 kg ha ⁻ ¹ at 100% irrigation and 180 kg ha ⁻ ¹ N.
- Intervention effect Increasing irrigation raised grain oil content.
- Intervention effect Higher nitrogen doses decreased grain oil content.
- Observation Maximum oil content was 6.64% at 100% irrigation without nitrogen.
- Intervention effect Higher irrigation increased total starch and phytic acid content.
- Observation At 270 kg ha ⁻ ¹ nitrogen, total starch reached 77.29%.
- Observation At 270 kg ha ⁻ ¹ nitrogen, phytic acid reached 1.83%.
- Association Resistant starch was high at 50% irrigation and low nitrogen doses and inversely related to total starch.
- Intervention effect Irrigation and nitrogen significantly affected oleic and linoleic acid ratios.
- Intervention effect More irrigation raised linoleic acid content.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen applications enhanced oleic acid content.
- Intervention effect More irrigation increased potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus and zinc content.
- Intervention effect More irrigation decreased calcium and manganese levels.
- Intervention effect Higher nitrogen doses generally increased mineral content, with magnesium, iron and zinc highest at 180 to 270 kg ha ⁻ ¹.
- Recommendation The authors identify 100% irrigation and 180-270 kg ha ⁻ ¹ nitrogen as suitable for yield and grain nutrition.
