    Abstract:
    Among major agricultural crops, none varies as widely as sorghum. Within this species, a number of varieties exist which produce and juicy stalks. The name sweet sorghum is used to identify these varietis of sorghum, Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench. These sweet-stalk varietis are also referred to as sugar sorghums or sorgo...

    At this time the several different sorghum varieties are grown promiscuously over the entire region adapted to this crop. This bulletin is prepared with a view to helping the farmer find the variety [of sorghum] best suited to his region and to grow and improve this variety so as to obtain better yields of forage. -- p. 2.

    The domesticated forms of the genus Sorghum are among the most widely cultivated crops of the world, surpassed only by rice, wheat, and maize in terms of total world acreage (15). All cultivated sorghums as well as a group of semi-wild weed sorghums are included in the complex species Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.

    Foram utilizados quatro genótipos de sorgo de porte alto, colmo suculento e com açúcar, BR601, CMSXS156 × CMSXS607, BR506 e CMSXS156 × CMSXS506, e três de porte baixo, colmo seco e sem açúcar, CMSXS156 × CMSXS227, CMSXS156 e CMSXS227, colhidos no estádio de grão leitoso/pastoso, com o objetivo de avaliar o número de plantas por hectare (NP/ha), as produções de matéria verde (MV) e de matéria seca (MS) em t/ha, as percentagens de colmo (%COL), de folha (%FOL), de panícula (%PAN) e de folhas mortas (%FM) em relação à planta inteira, à altura e à percentagem de acamamento das plantas (%ACM). Houve grande variação no NP/ha nos diferentes genótipos avaliados. As produções de MS foram de 8,6 t/ha para os genótipos de porte alto e de 4,4 t/ha para os de porte baixo. Observaram-se correlações positiva entre altura e %COL e negativas entre altura e %FOL e %PAN. Com relação à %ACM das plantas apenas o genótipo CMSXS156 × CMSXS607 apresentou esse problema.
