Season-wise conclusions

• Total biomass, fresh stalk and computed ethanol yields: SPV 2596 and SPV 2600 were superior to both the checks.

• SPV 2530 was promising for a range of characters like brix, juice yield, total sugar yields and computed ethanol yields.

• SPV 2530 was also promising for shoot fly tolerance.

• Fresh stalk yield, brix, juice yield and comp. eth. yields:SPV 2600

• Fresh Biomass yields: SPH 1798 and SPV 2402• Dry Biomass yields: SPV 2610

Rabi

HBM


1. With respect to total fresh biomass and fresh stalkyields, SPV 2600 performed consistently acrossseasons

2. For juice yield, the varieties SPV 2599 and SPV 2600exhibited consistent superiority over both theseasons

3. SPV 2528 and SPV 2531 performed consistentlyacross seasons for high brix (%)

4. SPV Nos 2528, 2600 and 2601 were superior tocheck for total sugar yields and computed ethanolyields during both kharif and rabi seasons

5. SPV 2600 is promising for both seasons for most ofthe characters

Sweet sorghum work plan for 2019

1. Identification of sweet sorghum genotypes for highstalk & sugar yields combining with shoot pest andfoliar disease tolerance

2. Characterizing high biomass sorghums for biomassquantity and composition for their utility as secondgeneration biofuel feedstock

3. Liaison with the industry for promoting sweet and highbiomass sorghums as effective feedstocks for biofuelproduction
