During the course of a study on effect of time of harvest on nutritional components of sorghum seeds, result revealed a significant steady increase in the carbohydrate content of the seeds with delayed harvest.
I've been unable to find reasons why this is so. Can anyone help give an insight to this result?
Thank you for your reply Carole C Tranchant Carole C Tranchant. I'd earlier gone through the work of Siddique and Wright (2003) and found my result to be consistent with theirs. However, I couldn't find the reason(s) for the observed increase in carbohydrate content with delaying harvest time in their work as they elaborated more on the protein content.
Although your response has given me more insight as regards my result. I will further appreciate if you can refer me to some more literature(s) so I can get a full grasp of the subject matter.
Thank you so much.
