Characterization of semi-arid Chadian sweet sorghum accessions as potential sources for sugar and ethanol production
Abstract Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is an important crop in Chad that plays an economic role in the countryside were stalks are produced mainly for human consumption without any processing. Unfortunately, very little information exists on its genetic diversity and brix content. Stud...
