In 1959 and I960, certain defoliation treatments (complete leaf blade removal, all but the flag leaf removed, and all but the flag leaf and leaf no. 5 counting downward from the flag removed) were inflicted in RS610 grain sorghum at boot and anthesis stages of development. With each defoliation treatment, plants (leaf sheaths) were wrapped with aluminum foil to prevent photosynthetic activity in those tissues. This procedure was found to be very satisfactory in both years. The resulting 12 treatments were organized in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications.
