Biomass Sorghum Final Thoughts • Select Forage PS Sorghums • Biomass PS Sorghums are now available – Optimized for energy production – Higher yield and different composition • Harvest and Storage Logistics – High moisture at Harvest • Pest and Stress Tolerances are somewhat similar to sweet sorghum • CONVERSION
Composition - Summary • Highly variable due to – Genotype (2) – Environment (1) – Maturity () • Like corn stover, correlations between forage and fiber composition are not good. • As expected, sorghum types and tissue types vary in composition
