- Abstract
Sorghum is a cereal plant that has the potential to be developed as animal feed due to its resistance to drought stress and regrowth ability after harvest. This study aimed to determine the response of sorghum plants given mycorrhizae with different watering frequencies to the nutrient and prussic acid content. This research was a completely randomized design with a 3x3 factorial pattern. Mycorrhizal fungi provision consisted of three levels, namely without mycorrhizal (M0), mycorrhizal 10 g/polybag (M10), and mycorrhizal 20 g/polybag (M20). The watering frequency consisted of watering every day (A1), watering every four days (A4), and watering every eight days (A8). Nutrient and prussic acid content of sorghum forage were affected by mycorrhiza (p<0.05). Different watering frequencies did not have a significant effect on the nutrient and prussic acid content of forage sorghum. However, mycorrhizal provision significantly increased the nutrient and prussic acid content of sorghum forage. The watering frequency did not affect the nutrient content of sorghum forage, but the watering once every eight days increased the content of sorghum forage. The best mycorrhizal treatment was 10 g/polybag.
