THE INFLUENCE OF BASE TEMPERATURE ON SWEET SORGHUM PRODUCTION IN HUNGARY
Journal Title: Natural Resources and Sustainable Development - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
In order to reach the goal determined by the 2009/28/EU directive sorghum production for energy purposes can be an adequate method. Efficient sorghum production is based on the consideration of the climatic aspects. An advantage of sorghum is appearing in the field of drought tolerance. The foundation of sorghum’s great drought tolerance is the high heat demand which must be fulfilled. The heat demand varies from 8 °C to 15 °C, so that based on the meteorological data recorded in the period of 1997-2016 the Effective Heat Unit varied between 627 °C and 2097 °C. Base temperature has a remarkable impact on the length of the vegetation period as well. Depending on this value the potential length of the vegetation period can vary from 123 days to 153 days. The sugar accumulation curve of a sorghum hybrid is also an important aspect of efficient bioethanol production where length of the vegetation period is an essential factor.
