Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during summer season under irrigated situation at Main Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad to assess the potentiality of sweet sorghum genotypes for cane yield, juice characters and sugar levels. The genotypes Rio, HES-4, SSV-74, SSV-84 and SSV-7073 registered significantly higher cane yield at physiological maturity with higher juice extraction percentage at grain filling period. Thus the proper stage for higher brix and grain yield is the physiological maturity stage. At physiological maturity the high yielding genotypes SSV-74, SSV-7073, SSV-12611 and SSV-53 recorded higher juice extractability per cent. The genotypes SSV-7073, SSV-74 and Rio recorded higher brix value. Total sugar and non reducing sugars in juice increased from flowering to physiological maturity whereas, reducing sugars decreased
