abstract={The purpose of this research is to know the effect of giving KNO<SUB>3</SUB> on sorghum plant¡¯s growth (Shorghum bicolor var. numbu). This study was conducted a Complete Randomized Design by using four treatments (K1, K2, K3 and K4), each treatments did in five repetitions. K0 (without KNO<SUB>3</SUB>= only aquades), K1 were given 15% KNO<SUB>3</SUB>, K2 were given by 30% KNO<SUB>3</SUB>, K3 were given 45% KNO<SUB>3</SUB><SUB> </SUB>and K4 were given 60% KNO<SUB>3</SUB>. Parameters measured were the number of leaves, the weight of wet leaves, the weight of dry leaves, malai¡¯s weight, and chlorophyll contents (a cholophyll, b chlorophyll, and total chlorophyll). Data analyzed by using ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) then continued by calculating honestly significant difference (Tukey ¨CHSD Test) at 0,05 significanct level. The results show that there was a non-significant difference for all parameters of giving KNO<SUB>3</SUB>. However, K4 treatment (60%) had significant difference for all parameters like; leaf-number, the weight of wet leaves, the weight of dry leaves, heavy malai. In spite of this, the chloropyll content on Sorghum plant did not show any significant results. This study still not shows the best result and maximum effects KNO<SUB>3</SUB> on Sorghum plant¡¯s growth. Hence, deeper assessment is much needed.},
