Thirteen varieties of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) and nine varieties of millet (Pennisetum glaucum [L.] R. Br.) were
grown on heavy soil slightly affected with salinity having pH range 8.0 to 8.5 during the Kharif season, 2004 for determining fodder
production in the hot conditions of Bahawalpur, Pakistan. Two flood irrigations, first before sowing and the other 15-day before
harvesting were given. Minimum fertilizer dose was also applied at the time of each irrigation at a rate of 30-30-00 NPK kg ha-1
.
Crop was harvested at 50 percent flowering and a maximum above-ground dry mass of 15.70 and 20.30 tons ha-1 were recorded for
the sorghum variety “JS-2002” and millet variety “Local Quetta”, respectively.
