EFFECT OF MECHANICAL CONDITIONING ON THIN-LAYER DRYING OF ENERGY SORGHUM (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)

Conference Bonner, Ian J ; Kenney, Kevin L

Cellulosic energy varieties of Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench show promise as a bioenergy feedstock, however, high moisture content at the time of harvest results in unacceptable levels of degradation when stored in aerobic conditions. To safely store sorghum biomass for extended periods in baled format, the material must be dried to inhibit microbial growth. One possible solution is allowing the material to dry under natural in-field conditions. This study examines the differences in thin-layer drying rates of intact and conditioned sorghum under laboratory-controlled temperatures and relative humidity levels (20 degrees C and 30 degrees C from 40% to 85% relativemore »« less

Partitioning of sup 14 C-photosynthate and biomass in relation to senescence characteristics of sorghum. [Sorghum bicolor (L. ) Moench]

Journal Article Vietor, D M ; Cralle, H T ; Miller, F R

The stems remaining after harvest of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) grain are a low-cost source of biomass. Semidwarf hybrids exhibiting nonsenescent characteristics may yield more stem biomass than senescent hybrids. This study compared a nonsenescent to a senescent hybrid of semidwarf sorghum using dry wt. and partitioning of {sup 14}C-photosynthate and {sup 14}C-starch at three stages. A leaf was exposed to {sup 14}CO{sub 2} or {sup 14}C-starch was injected into the middle internode of each hybrid during grain filling and at or after (post) black layer of the grain. Although dry wt. of stem internodes were significantly greater formore »« less
Effects of sewage sludge cadmium concentration on chemical extractability and plant uptake. [Sorghum bicolor (L. ) Moench; Sorghum vulgare (L. ) Moench; Sorghum vulgare var. sudanense]

Journal Article Jing, Jung ; Logan, T J

Seventeen anaerobically digested sludges of widely varying total Cd contents were used to test the hypothesis that, at a fixed Cd application rate, plant uptake of the metal is proportional to Cd concentration the sludge. The chemical speciation program GEOCHEM was used to calculate Cd{sup 2+} activities. Uptake of Cd by sudax (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), a hybrid of sorghum (Sorghum vulgare (L.) Moench) and sudangrass (Sorghum vulgare var, sudanense), was measured in a pot study at constant Cd application rates of 11 and 22 {mu}mol/kg soil. After 6 weeks above ground biomass was weighted and analyzed for Cd. Totalmore »« less
Characterization of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L. ) Moench) for biomass utilization

Thesis/Dissertation Monk, R L

Increased utilization of novel biomass sources for energy conversion schemes has become a significant portion of energy related research and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is often considered a viable potential resource. Plant breeding efforts to improve sorghum are limited in part by a poor definition of quality traits and their inheritance. To address these concerns, six diverse sorghums were compared and then combined to produce a full F/sub 1/ diallel with reciprocal crosses and genetic analysis. Fourteen agronomic, composition or quality traits were measured using chemical, biological and microscopic techniques. The six parental genotypes were grown at College Stationmore »« less
Assimilation, partitioning, and nonstructural carbohydrates in sweet compared with grain sorghum. [Sorghum bicolor (L. ) Moench]

Journal Article Vietor, D M ; Miller, F R

Nonstructural carbohydrate concentrations in stems are greater for sweet than grain sorghums (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench). Knowledge of plant characteristics associated with high nonstructural carbohydrates in sweet sorghum will air efforts to increase nonstructural carbohydrates in grain sorghum stems. This study tested the hypothesis that variation of CO{sub 2} assimilation rate, leaf area, branching at upper nodes, and partitioning of {sup 14}C-labeled assimilate to main stems are associated with variation of stem nonstructural carbohydrates. A sweet (Atlas X Rio) and a grain (ATx623 X RTx5388) hybrid, stages near and after physiological maturity, and defoliation and gibberellic acid (GA{sub 3}) treatmentsmore »« less
