Moench] is an important dryland cereal grown\r\nin India (7.8 million ha) and around the world (45.8 million ha) for food, feed,\r\nfodder, bioenergy and fiber. Sweet sorghum is similar to grain sorghum\r\nand are generally tall (3.0-4.0 m), late maturing (20-30 days) and relatively\r\nphotoperiod-sensitive; produce 2-3 t ha-1 grain yield with higher stalk yields\r\n(50-60 t ha-1 of fresh biomass).\r\nSweet sorghum is a new generation bioenergy crop that has potential to\r\naccumulate sugar (10-15%) in its stalk similar to sugarcane, apart from\r\nproducing grains. The bagasse, remnant stalk after extraction of juice, can\r\nbe used as animal feed or for vermicomposting to generate power. The crop\r\nhas the ability to adapt to various agro-climatic conditions and reasonably\r\ntolerates drought and saline-alkaline conditions. The crop is raised from seed\r\nand is of shorter duration (115-120 days) than sugarcane (12-18 months)\r\nmaking it amenable for multiple cropping systems. Water use or seasonal\r\nevapotranspiration (ET) for sorghum is 508 mm while it is 1257 mm for\r\nsugarcane. Water requirement of this crop is one-third that of sugarcane on a\r\ncomparable time scale. Also, sweet sorghum requires about 22% less water\r\nthan maize. With these advantages, sweet sorghum is a good bioenergy crop\r\nand can complement the available feedstocks for biofuel production."^^ . "2013" . . .
