3.1. INFLUENCIA DE LOS AGREGADOS PETREOS EN LAS CARACTERISTICAS
the most suitable combination for testing the seed vigour of sorghum, sudangrass, and pearl millet forage cultivars.
9. Forage sorghum and pearl millet are capable of producing early and adequate
feed for livestock in the case of feed shortage, since they can be grazed in situ
much earlier in summer than maize that grows up to the milk line before harvesting.
6.1. Recommended further research
Recommendations for further research are as follows:
a) Determination of the effect of seedbed temperature on seed germination,
emergence and early seedling development of different sorghum, sudangrass, and pearl millet cultivars.
b) Evaluation of the effect of animal grazing on the re-growth ability, and
assessment of the level of damage caused by trampling of different cultivars.
c) Comparison of the cyanide content of different cultivars of sorghum,
