Summary[edit]

Description
English: A crop of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor). Sorghum is extensively grown in India, northern China, and Africa where it is the leading cereal. Agricultural experts of the European Union are presently investigating the use of agricultural land for non-food production, such as the growth of biomass crops as a source of renewable energy and renewable sources of raw materials. One of the experimentally grown crops is sorghum (both the sweet and the fibre-producing varieties). The plant has a high net assimilation rate even under high light and water stress conditions and has the potential to produce high yields in fertile soils. The partners of the European Sorghum Network are studying the production and environmental impact of sorghum under field conditions at various sites around mainly southern Europe; investigations include low input trials and studies of soil erosion, crop rotations, and balances of water, nitrogen, carbon and organic matter. The ten partners of the European Sorghum Network are based in Italy, France, Spain, Greece, Portugal and at the University of Essex in Colchester.
English: Culture ou du sorgho (Sorghum bicolor). Cette plante est cultivé intensivement en Inde, au nord de la Chine et en Afrique où elle est la principale céréale cultivée. Des experts agricoles européens enquêtent sur l'utilisation des terres agricoles pour la production non-alimentaire, pour par exemple produire de la biomasse-énergie et des matières premières. Parmi les cultures testées figurent le sorgho (pouvant produire de l'énergie ou des fibres). La plante a un taux d'assimilation nette élevée même dans des conditions moyenne de lumière ou de stress hydrique et a un fort potentiel de rendements dans des sols fertiles. Les partenaires du Réseau européen Sorgho étudient la production et l'impact environnemental ou du sorgho dans diverses conditions de terrain en Europe (du sud principalement) ; Les études comprennent des essais avec peu d'intrants et un suivi des effets en terme d'érosion des sols, de la rotation des cultures, et des bilans pour l'eau, l'azote, le carbone et les matières organiques. Les partenaires de ce Réseau Sorgho sont basées en Italie, en France, en Espagne, en Grèce, au Portugal et à l'Université d'Essex à Colchester
