Abstract
Foliar spraying at the flowering stage in conjunction with a basal application of 75 kg N/ha significantly increased the total dry matter, grain yield, crude protein content of grain and nitrogen content of roots, stems and leaves of two varieties of sorghum. The percentages of lysine, leucine and tryptophan in grain protein decreased but the lysine-leucine ratio remained unaffected. Foliar spraying with urea has not proved effective therefore in improving grain quality
