Planting Sweet Sorghum in Yellow River Delta: Agronomy Characters of Different Varieties and the Effects of Sowing Time on the Yield and other Biological Traits

摘要

In order to screen out the optimum varieties of sweet sorghum to be planted in Yellow River Delta, the agronomy characters of different varieties (strains) of sweet sorghum including jitianza 1 (JZ1), jitianza 2 (JZ2), jitianza 3 (JZ3), jitianza 4 (JZ4), liaosiza 1 (LSZ1), liaotian 1 (LT1), liaotian 3 (LT3), liaotian 6 (LT6) planted in the saline soil of Yellow River Delta were analyzed; Further more, the effect of different sowing time on the agronomy characters of sweet sorghum was explored with JZ2. The study provided bases for the cultivation of sweet sorghum in saline-alkali soil of Yellow River Delta in order to transform the biomass into bio-energy such as fuel alcohol.
