An attempt has been made to critically identify the factors contributing to biomass yield and their interrelationship in sweet sorghum plant (main) and ratoon trials. The genotypes ICSSH 28, ICSSH 58, ICSA 749 × SPV 1411, B-24 and ICSV 93046 exhibited higher ratooning efficiency. It was observed that higher the ratooning efficiency lower will be the difference between the growing degree days (GDD) of main and ratoon crop. GDD can be used as one of the selection criteria in breeding programs aiming for enhanced biomass and ratooning efficiency. date: 2013 date_type: published publication: Sugar Tech volume: 15 number: 3 publisher: Springer pagerange: 278-284 id_number: 10.1007/s12355-013-0231-z refereed: TRUE issn: 0974-0740 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12355-013-0231-z related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=%22Interrelationship+Among+Biomass+Related+Traits+and+Their+Role+in+Sweet+Sorghum+Cultivar+Productivity+in+Main+and+Ratoon+Crops%22&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&b related_url_type: pub funders: European Commission funders: Islamic Development Bank citation: Srinivasa Rao, P and Rathore, A and Reddy, B V S (2013) Interrelationship Among Biomass Related Traits and Their Role in Sweet Sorghum Cultivar Productivity in Main and Ratoon Crops.
