An experiment on the comparative performance of foliar vs. soil application of FeSO 4 was conducted in the research field of Sorghum Research Unit, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola during the Kharif season of 2020-21. The experiment was laid in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with twelve treatments in three replications. The treatments included a) soil application of FeSO 4 , and b) foliar application of FeSO 4 . The variety of parching sorghum was PKV-Kartiki. The recommended doses of macronutrient fertilizer i.e. 80:40:40 N, P 2 O 5, and K 2 O kg ha -1 were applied to all treatments. The results indicated that the green grain (hurda) yield, green fodder yield, oven-dry parching grain yield, leaf-stem yield, root yield, and panicle straw yield were recorded significantly highest with soil application of 30 kg FeSO 4 ha -1 and with the foliar application of 1.0% FeSO 4 at the flowering stage which was found to be at par with treatment of soil application of 20 kg FeSO 4 ha -1 and with the foliar application of 0.5% FeSO 4 at flowering stage respectively. The uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, iron, copper, manganese and zinc by leaf-stem, root, parching grain, and panicle straw was also recorded highest with the soil application of 30 kg FeSO 4 ha -1 and with the foliar application of 1.0% FeSO 4 at flowering stage.
