Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) MOENCH) and its utilization possibilities in the condition of the Czech Republic
Hermuth, Jiří ; Janovská, Dagmar ; Strašil, Zdeněk ; Usťak, Sergej ; Hýsek, Josef
Sorghum is one of the oldest used crops. Presently, it is one of the five most cultivated cereals in the world for human nutrition. This methodology includes a comprehensive view of sorghum cultivation and presents the newest knowledge in range from botanical taxonomy to the possibilities of utilization. In this publication, there are included not only our own results but there are also results from the world scientific publications. There are characterized selected species of sorghum suitable for different climatic conditions of the Czech Republic. There are described all aspects and procedures, which can influence the final production of selected sorghum varieties including their quality from the point of view of biogas production.

The production of biomass and dry matter at maize and sorghum for silage
TROJÁKOVÁ, Gabriela
The aim of this thesis was to evaluate and compare the production capacity of the two hybrids of maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes and selected sorghum (Sorghum Adams). For the evaluation of this experiment there was based a plot on the piece of land of South Bohemia University in České Budějovice. The samples were picked up before harvest to compare the evaluated high - yielding indicators. The number of samples depended on the desired dry matter content in biomass. During corn harvest the yield of biomass was determined, and yield and share of corncobs, dry matter content of biomass and corncobs, and yield of dry biomass. At the harvest of sorghum the yield of biomass was determined, the content of dry matter and yield of dry matter in biomass. Out of one-year experiment it was found out a slower increase of dry matter content in sorghum hybrids in comparison with the corn maize hybrids. Selected hybrids reached optimal values of solids dry matter content for the production of high quality silage.

Sorghum as the energy crop
CIBULKOVÁ, Renata
Sorghum, one of the world's major cereals, is the most commonly used for food or fodder. The aim of this Bachelor thesis is in a form of literary review to summarize information about the properties of sorghum in view of energy use, energy yields, the cultivation technology for energy purposes, the possibilities of using sorghum for energy purposes and the situation in the world and the Czech Republic. Recently sorghum has been tested as a raw material for all branches of the energy industry because of the wide range of potential products such as ethanol, hydrogen, methane, lipids, acetone, butanol and lactic acid. Sorghum can be used as biofuels due to the relatively high yields of phytomass. Utilization of individual species of sorghum depends on their chemical composition that can be significantly influenced by climatic conditions and way of cultivation. Crops improvement plays an important role for increasing production and utilization of this cereal in all climatic conditions.

Prospects of the cultivation and the use of sorghum and millet in the Czech Republic
TROJÁKOVÁ, Gabriela
The aim of this work was a summary of the cultivation knowledge and the use of the possibilities of sorghum and millet in the Czech Republic. Botanical characteristics, requirements for enviroment, plant care during the vegetation millet and sorghum. Harvest and post-harvest treatment of plants and their use for food, industrial and fodder purposes. Millet is a modest yielding crop bringing a good viable, expanding food crop and variety for processing industry. Sorghum enriches crop rotation to maintain soil fertility and is an interesting alternative to corn silage on the arable land in the Czech Republic.
