Increasing nitrogen application rates affect changes in the nutrient composition of sorghum biomass.  Nitrogen in the form of urea was applied at increasing rates on sweet and forage sorghum.  Biomass yields were measured and nutrient concentrations determined.  A multiple-year/site data summary of nutrient uptake levels relative to increasing nitrogen application rates on sorghum are presented.
