	Sweet Sorghum FAQs
		Sweet sorghum is grown most extensively for syrup in the south-eastern United States yet making syrup extends from the gulf states, including Texas, north to Wisconsin and West to Kansas, Iowa and Minnesota.
		The name "sweet sorghum" is used to identify varieties of sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, that are sweet and juicy.
		Sorghum can be used in your stir fry base as well as in your baked beans, its' a great ingredient to add into you homemade breads and can be substituted cup for cup in any recipe that calls for molasses, honey, corn syrup or maple syrup.

	ANR-625 SWEET SORGHUM CULTURE AND SYRUP PRODUCTION
		Sweet sorghum yields 200 to 300 gallons of syrup per acre, and sorghum syrup sells for $15 to $20 per gallon.
		Sweet sorghum is susceptible to a number of diseases including anthracnose (red stalk rot), fusarium, and maize dwarf mosaic.
		The quality of the syrup depends to a large extent upon the variety of sweet sorghum, the type of soil on which the crop is grown, the type and amounts of fertilizer used, and the kind of growing season.

	Sorghum Syrup
		Sweet sorghum is ideally suited to the small, diversified farm, as the various parts of the plant can be used for livestock or poultry feed, and waste can be composted, in addition to the sorghum syrup produced.
		Sorghum syrup is a natural sweetener made by processing juice squeezed from the stalks of certain types of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) called sweet sorghum or sorgo.
		Sweet sorghum is grown for syrup or forage, whereas most other sorghums, commonly referred to as milos or kafirs, are grown for grain.

	Sweet Sorghum R&D at NARI
		Complete development of indigenous technology for fermentation of sweet sorghum juice, solar distillation of ethanol and finally its use as a cooking and lighting fuel in new and improved stoves and lanterns was carried out.
		Sweet sorghum bagasse was also tested in an existing paper mill to assess its suitability for paper manufacture.
		In the light of this situation it was felt that sweet sorghum may be an ideal crop to form the raw material of an alcohol-paper complex.

	Sorghum, Milo of the Midwest
		While sorghum is considered to be native to tropical Africa and continues to be a leading cereal grain the most areas of the continent, it came to the United States from France.
		The sorghum flour is mixed with water and a yeast starter from a previous batch of injera.
		We have found that sorghum flour can be substituted for rice flours in part or a total substitution with no readily apparent problems and with an impression on our part for an improved taste preference, a lessened chance for grittiness and similar quality of finished products with other common flours used in gluten-free baking.

	Focus on... Biofuels: Sorghum: a sweet alternative
		One of sweet sorghum's most attractive assets is that it can be used to produce ethanol - the world's largest fuel additive - whilst still meeting the food, feed and fodder needs of smallscale farmers...
		Sweet sorghum, however, is well suited to these conditions, and its use as a good quality fodder is an important factor in areas where grazing has been banned to prevent desertification.

	Sorghum-Forage
		Sorghum was grown primarily as a source of sugar for syrup until the settlement of the semiarid West created a demand for drought- resistant forage crops.
		Sudangrasses and sorghum- sudangrass hybrids are grazed by livestock or fed as green chop or hay.
		Sweet sorghum and sorghum- sudangrass often cannot be stored as hay because of the difficulty in drying the forage to a safe storage moisture content of 25% or less.

	Fitopatologia Brasileira - Screening of sweet sorghum accessions for inhibition of secondary sporulation and saccharide ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Sorghum is generally a self-fertile cereal, fertilization of each flower occurring within hours of the flowers opening and the enclosed anthers shedding pollen.
		The non-suppressive group was comprised of 18 sweet sorghum genotypes which supported the maximum expression of secondary sporulation (>30%), and on which the honeydew surface became coated with a white layer of secondary spores.
		Oligosaccharides analysis (Table 2) of the honeydew exuded from the five accessions of sweet sorghums which did not support any secondary sporulation, showed high concentrations of fructosyl-mannitol and difructosyl-mannitol which were maintained even in humid conditions because the samples were all collected daily in the mornings before any sun-induced drying had occurred.

	Sorghum-Syrup
		Sorghum was also grown in India before recorded history and in Assyria as early as 700 B.C. The crop reached China during the thirteenth century and the Western Hemisphere much later.
		Sorghum was grown primarily for syrup until the settlement of the semiarid West created a demand for drought-resistant forage crops.
		Sorghum for syrup can be planted with a corn planter or with a grain drill at a rate of 10 to 15 lb/acre.

	Sun.Star Davao - Sorghum another source of biofuel
		At the MMSU study, the average yield was 110 tons per hectare of sweet sorghum cane stalk for two cropping seasons in eight months (one main crop followed by one ratoon crop.) Ratoon is the outgrowth after the main stalk has been cut.
		Layaoen, who is pioneering sweet sorghum cultivation in the country, claimed that the cost of producing a liter of ethanol from sweet sorghum is lower than that from sugarcane molasses.
		Sorghum is one of the five top cereal crops in the world, along with wheat, oats, corn, and barley.

		Dar said that ICRISAT developed the variety of sorghum used in ethanol extraction and has tested it "under Philippine conditions" to verify its viability and determine if it is able to propagate locally.
		He explained the research institute's sweet sorghum plantation testing center at the Mariano Marcos State University in Batac, Ilocos Norte has responded well to ICRISAT's extraction process and is immediately available for planting in areas where future ethanol distillers may be established.
