Fun fact! Sorghum cultivars are being intensively studied for their potential as a biofuel source because of their high biomass yield and sugar production. The sugars produced by sorghum give it an economical advantage over starch-based crops for biofuel use. Sorghum is also drought resistant and salt tolerant, making it possible to grown on marginal land, another advantage.
