Abstract


A seed crop of CSH 5 sorghum was raised during the winter season of 1979 to study the influence of N at O. 100 and 200 kg/ha and P and K each at 0. 50 and 100 kg/ha on Seed quality. The seeds obtained were size graded using 10/64". 9/64" and 8,64" round hole sieves and protein phosphorus and potassium contents were estimated. Protein content was maximum in the seeds retained by 10/64" sieve while phosphorus and potassium content was maximum in the seeds retained by 8/64" sieve. Application of N did not significantly improve seed protein content while that of P increased the P content K in conjunction with N increased the seed K content.
