Abstract

This research examines the effect of deproteinised juice on the growth parameters of Jowar (Sorghum bicolor L.), commonly known as jowar. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential effects of deproteinised juice on vegetative growth and overall development of sorghum plants.

The process of deproteinisation involves the removal or reduction of protein from juice, and its effect on plant growth through possible changes in nutrient availability and other physiological factors is a topic of interest. In this experiment, deproteinised juice of Delonix regia (Bojer ex Hook.) is used to study the apparent difference in the growth pattern of sorghum.

The experimental design includes various growth parameters, such as plant height, leaf area, and chlorophyll content. The nutrient content of the deproteinised juice is analysed to clear up any relationship between nutrient availability and observed plant responses.

Preliminary results indicate that deproteinised juice may have a notable effect on the early growth stage of sorghum. However, a comprehensive data analysis is required to draw conclusive insights into the effects on overall plant development. Understanding these results is important for evaluating the viability and potential advantages or disadvantages of using deproteinised juice in agricultural practices, particularly for sorghum cultivation.

This study contributes valuable insights to the intersection of plant physiology and food processing, highlighting the potential effects of deproteinised juice on growth parameters of a major cereal crop. Further research in this area can inform sustainable agricultural practices and increase our understanding of the complex relationship between plant development and processed food by-products.
