Sweet Sorghum

Sweet Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor(L) Moench) is the principal cereal crop.

It is a C4 plant tolerant to drought, acidity, alkalinity and salinity.

Most efficient biomass producer has thick juicy stalks and accumulates sugar in the stem.

Salient Features:

Short duration crop ( 31/2 to 4 Months) Less water requirement Easy for cultivation and maintenance Less investment Alternate cost effective feedstock for Ethanol production Yield 20 – 25 Tonnes per Acre Provides good return to farmer Bagasse – a valuable bye product for power generation/ cattle feed and source for manufacturing paper.

National Research Centre for Sorghum (NRCS), Hyderabad, under the ambit of Indian council of Agricultural Research is carrying out the research and development activities on sorghum crop and particularly Sweet sorghum crop as bio-energy crop for industrial exploitation.

A pilot study by NRCS in collaboration with Renuka Sugars factory located near Belgaum in Karnataka was successfully conducted for the assessment of techno economic feasibility of ethanol production from Sweet sorghum Juice.  Trial cultivation of Sweet sorghum in M/s Sagar Sugars and Allied Products Limited., project area Viz. Chithoor district has also revealed encouraging results for growing and exploitation of this crop for energy production for both Ethanol from Juice and power from bagasse.
