Radiation Use Efficiency and Agronomic Performance of Biomass Sorghum under Different Sowing Dates

Accurate estimation of radiation use efficiency (RUE) at variable timed sowing dates will enhance the prediction plant dry matter accumulation. The objectives this study were to (1) determine impact three on productivity, performance, and economic feasibility biomass sorghum hybrids (2) evaluate variability RUE in production under effects dates. Over a two-year experiment, grown monitored different seasons optimal growth conditions. Average (DB) productivity harvest ranged from 22.71 32.77 Mg ha−1. Higher leaf area index (LAI) values (>4.0) represented an intercept over 95% incident photosynthetically active (PAR). obtained slope linear relationship between DB produced accumulated intercepted (IPAR) 2.92 4.157 g MJ−1 across growing seasons. observed for energy early mid-season. They converted IPAR efficiently into DB. Lastly, each hybrid date was evaluated terms their expected net returns. Economic results suggest that considered could be viable source season long, with returns ranging USD 560.55 ha−1 1255.06
