| Abstract | ||
| To investigate the simultaneous product of forage and grain yield of sorghum (Sorghum bicolorL Moench), experiment was conducted with three sorghum cultivars: Enkath, Rabih, and kafir 2, during spring and fall season of 2004, on experimental field of Field Crop Research Station/Board of Agric. Research /Abu- Graib. The experiment included five treatments of removal leaves from sorghum plant. These treatments were removal of 2,4,6,8, and ten leaves from lower side toward upright side of the plant, at stage of 50% anthesis, and flag leaf was kept un removal. In addition to these treatments, check was included for the comparison between treatment effects .The results showed that grain yield of all cultivars were not affected by the leaves removal as a result of un affected these treatments on yield components (no. of grains/plant and grain weight). The results also showed that were not affected, heads length and their branches, although those different cultivars differ in many growth traits. These results indicated that all cultivars showed similar behavior and unaffected responses to removal of leaves at late growth stage. | ||
