“…The study of Moi (2021) confirmed that adding nitrogen to the soil led to an increase in grain yield 265 compared with no addition, by adding two levels of nitrogen fertilizer 80 and 40 kg nitrogen / ha. Dembele et al (2021) show that the level (178 kg N/ ha) was better in the characters PH , chlorophyll leaves content, LAI, no. of spike/ m 2 , , 1000 grain weight and grain yield compare with (zero, 89 Kg N/ha) .…”

Sorghum is one of the important cereal crops and its importance is due to its multiple uses, as it is used in human food and animal feed in the form of concentrated grains or green fodder, as well as entering into many industries such as starch, cellulose, alcohol, brooms, baskets and many handicrafts and others. Sorghum is the most drought-tolerant summer field crop, but it is one of the crops that stresses the soil as a result of depleting many nutrients, especially nitrogen. Therefore, fertilization is necessary, especially nitrogen, which is reflected in improving the quality of forage and increasing the dry matter yield .The growth and yield of sorghum is affected by many environmental, genetic and agricultural factors, in which the growth and yield are the sum of the effect of these factors combined, and that following modern methods in serving this crop is one of the main factors in improving yield productivity, and the most important of these factors is determining the best cultivar and optimal planting date and the recommended plant density and the best fertilization rate that gives the best yield and the least cost and damage.

“…Berenguer and Faci (2001) indicated that a high plant density did not present a productive advantage in the sorghum grain yield, especially under limited irrigation conditions. However, previous study showed significant interaction of plant density, nitrogen rate, and variety on sorghum grian yield as well (Dembele et al, 2021). Therefore, plant density in terms of grain yield varied with different growing conditions and sorghum varieties; therefore, knowledge of optimum plant density in combination with cultivation conditions and variety will help producers boost sorghum productivity.…”

Grain sorghum has been a significant contributor to global food security since the prehistoric period and may contribute even more to the security of both food and energy in the future. Globally, precise management techniques are crucial for increasing grain sorghum productivity. In China, with diverse ecological types, variety introduction occasionally occurs across ecological zones. However, few information is available on the effect of ecological type on genotype performance and how plant spacing configuration influences grain yield in various ecological zones. Hence, a series of two-year field experiments were conducted in 2020 and 2021 in four ecological zones of China, from the northeast to the southwest. The experiments included six widely adapted sorghum varieties under six plant spacing configurations (two row spacing modes: equidistant row spacing (60 cm) mode and wide (80 cm)-narrow (40 cm) row spacing mode; three in-row plant spacings: 10 cm, 15 cm, and 20 cm). Our results indicated that ecological type, variety, and plant spacing configuration had a significant effect on sorghum yield. Ecological type contributed the highest proportion to the yield variance (49.8%), followed by variety (8.3%), while plant spacing configuration contributed 1.8%. Sorghum growth duration was highly influenced by the ecological type, accounting for 87.2% of its total variance, whereas plant height was mainly affected by genotype, which contributed 81.6% of the total variance. All test varieties, developed in the south or north, can reach maturity within 94-108 d, just before fall sowing in central China. Generally, sorghum growth duration becomes longer when a variety is introduced from south to north. A late-maturing variety, developed in the spring sowing and late-maturing regions, possibly could not reach maturity in the early-maturing region. The row spacing modes had no significant affect on sorghum yield, but the equal-row spacing mode consistently caused higher yields with only one exception; this might imply that equal-row spacing mode was more advantageous for boosting sorghum yield potential. In contrast, decreasing in-row plant spacing showed significant positive linear associations with sorghum grain yield in most cases. In addition, these results demonstrated that sorghum is a widely adapted crop and enables success in variety introduction across ecological zones.

“…Thus, potential genetic variability for N uptake and utilization efficiency exists and can be exploited by evaluating larger sets of diverse genotypes with high-throughput phenotyping and genotyping tools. Moreover, sensor-based N application along with integrated agronomic practices such as supplemental irrigation ( Sigua et al, 2018 ), planting density ( Dembele et al, 2021 ) could achieve higher yield and NUE in sorghum. Conversely, a higher genetic diversity has been reported in sorghum for below ground traits as compared to the aboveground traits ( Wojciechowski and Kant, 2021 ).…”

Enhancing Sorghum Yield Through Efficient Use of Nitrogen – Challenges and Opportunities

Sorghum is an important crop, which is widely used as food, forage, fodder and biofuel. Despite its natural adaption to resource-poor and stressful environments, increasing yield potential of sorghum under more favorable conditions holds promise. Nitrogen is the most important nutrient for crops, having a dynamic impact on all growth, yield, and grain-quality-determining processes. Thus, increasing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in sorghum would provide opportunities to achieve higher yield and better-quality grain. NUE is a complex trait, which is regulated by several genes. Hence, exploring genetic diversity for NUE can help to develop molecular markers associated with NUE, which can be utilized to develop high NUE sorghum genotypes with greater yield potential. Research on improving NUE in sorghum suggests that, under water-deficit conditions, traits such as stay-green and altered canopy architecture, and under favorable conditions, traits such as an optimized stay-green and senescence ratio and efficient N translocation to grain, are potential breeding targets to develop high NUE sorghum genotypes. Hence, under a wide range of environments, sorghum breeding programs will need to reconsider strategies and develop breeding programs based on environment-specific trait(s) for better adaptation and improvement in productivity and grain quality. Unprecedented progress in sensor-based technology and artificial intelligence in high-throughput phenotyping has provided new horizons to explore complex traits in situ, such as NUE. A better understanding of the genetics and molecular pathways involving NUE, accompanied by targeted high-throughput sensor-based indices, is critical for identifying lines or developing management practices to enhance NUE in sorghum.
