Abstract
Sorghums currently are being developed which have both good grain and biomass yield potentials.The grain component can be harvested and utilized for feeds and food stuffs, while the biomass component can be used as a renewable energy source. Additional nutrient inputs for the increased biomass production will impact directly the cost of biomass-derived energy. A study was initiated at Weslaco and College Station in 1983 to compare nitrogen (N) requirements of sorghum produced only for grain as compared to sorghum grown for grain and biomass.The effect of genotype on N requirement was also determined.
