“…O teor mais alto de sacarose e de rendimento elevado de biomassa foi obtido após 120 dias do plantio. Monk et al (1984) destacaram a importância do sorgo sacarino pela facilidade de cultivo, adaptabilidade a condições diversas de clima, e diversidade no germoplasma em projetos de melhoramento dirigidos à produção de grãos, de melado ou de forragem.…”

“…Juice extracted from sweet sorghum is predominantly sucrose with variable levels of glucose and fructose, and in some genotypes, small amounts of starch are detectable (Clark, 1981;Billa et al, 1997). In forage and dedicated biomass sorghums, the predominant compounds that are produced are structural carbohydrates (lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose) (McBee et al, 1987;Monk et al, 1984). Amaducci et al (2004) reported that the environment influences sucrose, cellulose, and hemicellulose concentrations, while lignin content remains relatively constant.…”

“…Monk et al (1984) report on sorghum improvement for energy. They found a significant correlation between height and biomass production, but note that lodging can be as serious issue with tall sorghums, especially those with significant grain production.…”
