Abstract

Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a cereal plant that is able to grow in a relatively harsh environment and can be cultivated in Indonesia even though it is not a tropical plant. This plant has the potential to be used as raw material in making bioethanol because in addition to being environmentally friendly, the raw materials are also very abundant, so it can be an alternative substitute for gasoline. The weight of the stem biomass, the percent of brix nira, and the volume of sap contained in the superior genotype of sweet sorghum for bioethanol production. The results obtained from stem biomass, percent brix in stem sap, and high volume of sap can be used as criteria for selecting varieties for bioethanol raw materials from sweet sorghum.
