Sweet sorghum, wood vinegar, fresh forage yield, dry matter yield, ethanol yieldAbstract
This study was conducted to determine the effect of different rates of wood vinegar obtained from hazelnut shell waste on the yield and some yield-related agronomic characteristics of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench var. saccharatum). The experiment was carried out in the experimental field located in Sincan/Ankara, in the summer growing season of 2023 with 3 replications according to the coincidence blocks experimental design. In the experiment, eight different applications were tested on plants: control, control with fertilizer, ½control with fertilizer+1% wood vinegar to leaf, ½control with fertilizer+3% wood vinegar to leaf, ½control with fertilizer+5% wood vinegar to leaf, 1% wood vinegar to leaf, 3% wood vinegar to leaf and 5% wood vinegar to leaf. Applications of wood vinegar were made on the leaves of the crop three times. Some characteristics were measured such as plant height, fresh forage for silage, dry matter (DM) rate, DM yield, juice yield, sugar content, sugar yield and theoretical ethanol yield in the study. The results showed that wood vinegar applications, both alone and with chemical fertilizer, had significant effects on plant height, fresh forage for silage, DM yield and sugar content, but did not affect the DM content. In addition, it has been revealed that ½control with fertilizer+5% wood vinegar to leaf application can be an alternative to control with fertilizer application in terms of high dry matter and ethanol yield. It was determined that the applications of wood vinegar alone did not have a significant effect on juice yield, sugar yield and ethanol yield, while the significant effect of wood vinegar applications combined with chemical fertilizer on juice yield, sugar yield and ethanol yield was due to the chemical fertilizer in the application.
