The influence of sowing norms on the green mass and yield of sorghum variety “Nayman” in salt soil conditions of Karakalpakstan

Abstract

The number of sprouted plants increased from 91.3% to 93.1%, and the number of plants preserved at the end of the growing season was also found to be more by 1.9% when the seed consumption was increased from 110,000 to 140,000 seeds when the “Nayman” variety of sorghum planted in saline soil conditions was planted for green mass. The number of seeds in the panicle, which is the main indicator of the harvest, was determined to be 1398.4 seeds weighing 27.0 grams when 110,000 seeds/ha were used, and 1322.0 seeds weighing 27.8 grams when 100,000 seeds/ha were planted. The number of seeds in the panicle was less in the variants with a low sowing rate.
