Abstract
Nine cultivars and lines of sorghum of Iran were evaluated for sucrose content, grain yield, and yield components. Results show
that cv Rio had the highest sucrose content (125.6 g kg–1 fresh stalk) and cv Turno, the lowest (28.8 g kg–1). IS 18154 (1085 g m–
2) had the highest grain yield and cv Rio (541 g m–2), the lowest. Soave was intermediate in both sucrose content and yield;
hence can be recommended either as grain or sweet sorghum type. Cv Turno, with low sucrose content, and yield is neither
suitable as a sweet nor grain cultivar. Other sweet sorghum cultivars or lines that were evaluated in this study may be used for
dual purposes.
