Soaring prices of fossil fuels, geo-political issues and environmental pollution associated with fossil fuel use has led to worldwide interest in the production and use of bio-fuels. Both the developed and developing countries have developed a range of policies to encourage production of combusti...

Sorghum[Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] stover can provide an abundant alternative source of fermentable sugars through enzymatic hydrolysis (Vermerris et al., 2007). While production of cellulosic ethanol from stover is feasible from an energy-balance perspective, its production is currently not ec...
Eighteen hybrids and 16 varieties of sweet sorghum were investigated for yields of grain, stover, juice extract for bio-ethanol distillation and bagasse and the relationships between these productive traits. There was a large degree of independency between grain and stover yields, suggesting that...
