Abstract

SUMMARYNitrogen-atrazine combinations were significantly more effective in stimulating higher yield components of sorghum and depressing yield components of striga than sole treatments of either nitrogen or atrazine. Over all treatments nitrophoska at 129 kg N/ha in combination with atrazine at 1.75 kg/ha gave 224, 180, 155 and 151% increases in yield components over the control for head, straw, 1000 grain weights and plant height of sorghum, and a decrease in 83, 88 and 90% of striga density at 8, 12, and 16 weeks from sowing the sorghum. The synergistic effect of nitrogen-atrazine is demonstrated.
