Abstract

Five of sorghum varieties evaluation (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) corresponded to: ISIAP- Dorado, ISIAP-Mejorado, Prodigioso, LD-24 y Línea-3; The grain size, weight of 1000 grains, kg/hL, protein, starch, fiber, fat, agricultural yield and flour yield (integral and purified) were analyzed. All the varieties of sorghum grains had a similar size (from 4.0 to 4.5 mm). The highest weight of 1000 grains and mass for hectoliter were achieved in the varieties LD- 24 and ISIAP-Mejorado with 29.2 and 30.3 g and 79 and 80 kg/hL respectively. The protein content was significantly better in the varieties: ISIAP-Dorado (12.4%), ISIAP-Mejorado (12.6%) and LD-24 (12.8%); being these last two those of more content of starch (65.4 and 65.2% respectively). There were no significant differences as for fiber content (9.5-9.7%) and fat content (3.3-3.6%). The agricultural yield was significantly highest in the varieties LD-24 (3.8 t/ha) and ISIAP-Mejorado (4.0 t/ha). The yields in integral flour (98.1-98.8%) were similar in all the varieties; while ISIAP-Mejorado (70.2%) and LD-24 (70.5%) threw the best yields in purified flour.
