Abstract
The effect of 0-0, 40-8.6, 60-17.2 and 80-17.2 kg ha(-1) of nitrogen ( N) and phosphorus (P) levels on sorghum varieties, GJ-36, GJ-9. Swati and GSH-1 under stored moisture conditions during semi-rabi season was studied. Increased grain and stover yields, total N and P uptake and consumptive water use and water-use efficiency (WUE) were recorded wit h increasing N and P levels for all varieties. GJ-9 was the best due t o its highest yield, lowest consumptive water use and highest WUE at t he 80 N-17.2 P kg ha(-1) level.
