The effects of different doses of biogas organic fertilizer applications on the bioethanol production from sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) plants

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different doses of nitrogen from mineral and biogas fertilizers on ethanol production during the four month periods from June to October 2021 in Çukurova conditions. In this research, arrangement with a randomized complete block design with three replications, various characteristics such as green forage yield, dry matter yield, green stalk yield, dry stalk yield, moisture content, green bagasse yield, dry bagasse yield, brix content, sugar content, sugar yield, theoretical moisture ethanol yield, lignin content, cellulose content, hemicellulose content, theoretical bagasse ethanol yield, and total ethanol yield were examined. According to research results; the highest green forage yield, juice yield, green stalk yield, sugar yield, intrinsic water ethanol yield, and green bagasse yield were obtained from the application of 20 kg (5BG+15 INORG). The highest Brix yield was obtained from the 10 kg BG application. The highest cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin ratios were obtained from plots where no nitrogen application was made.
