Among sorghum genotypes, the biomass-sorghum has the distinction of being sensitive to photoperiod, which
means that it has a longer vegetative growing period and consequently greater production of green and dry mass.
Furthermore, when compared to other potential biofuel crops, the sorghum stands out for meeting the market
demands as: low implementation cost, short cycle, wide adaptability, mechanized management, low humidity
and high calorific value in boilers. Thereby, the cultivation of energy crops such as biomass-sorghum becomes a
great option for farmers, especially in areas with low suitability for food production, allowing the business diversification
and increase of production.
