The decline in agricultural land and natural resources stands in stark contrast to the burgeoning global population, necessitating the efficient utilization of these resources. Effective management of water resources, in particular, holds paramount importance for sustaining human life. Sugar sorghum, recognized as a crucial energy and silage crop, presents a promising avenue for bioethanol production owing to its high sugar content, while its pulp serves as a viable animal feed source.This study sought to assess the yield and sugar content of various drought-resistant sugar sorghum genotypes under both drought and irrigated conditions. Conducted consecutively in 2019 and 2020 within the experimental station of Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University, the research employed the Nutrihang, Leoti, Teide, Nes, and E.Sumac sorghum varieties. Employing a randomized plot experimental design with four replications and a sowing density of 17,500 plants/ha, the study comprised two experiments: irrigated and non-irrigated.Results revealed that under irrigated conditions, the Leoti variety exhibited the highest sugar content, registering a brix value of 17.6%, followed by the Nutrihang and Nes varieties with brix values of 14.6% and 14.4%, respectively. Meanwhile, the Nes variety showcased superior forage and must yield under irrigated conditions, yielding 7542.4 kg da-1 and 2074.2 kg da-1, respectively. However, in non-irrigated conditions, although green grass yield declined, sugar content surged. Notably, under non-irrigated conditions, the Nutrihang variety yielded the highest sugar content in the must, recording a brix value of 20.1%. The Leoti and Nes varieties followed suit, exhibiting brix values of 18.3% and 18.1%, respectively. Furthermore, the Nes variety boasted the highest forage yield at 4217.6 kg da-1, while the Nutrihang variety led in must yield with 1816.2 kg da-1.
