Abstract
AbstractGrain sorghum was planted to a uniform stand on Cecil sandy loam soil which had been fertilized with 408 kg/ha of a 4.0‐5.3‐10.0 (4‐12‐12) fertilizer. The plants were sidedressed with 56 kg/ha of nitrogen. Heads were harvested and threshed from 1‐row plots 1.52 m long. Yields from these plots were combined in various combinations of rows and row lengths to determine the optimum plot size as measured by coefficients of variation.Data from this 3‐year study involving different size and shape of plots for grain sorghum indicated that the optimum size plot consisted of 2 rows 4.56 m (15 ft) long.
