Abstract: The sugar content in sorghum stem were studied with 77 grain sorghum material and 21 sweet sorghum material.It showed that the sugar content of sweet sorghum were higher than that of grain sorghum by 2-5 times.The stem in sweet sorghum was waxy with higher sap content.The sugar content was different in every internod.4 different types of internode sugar change were exist,but the low-high-low type was the main type in sweet sorghum.The average of internode 4,7,9 sugar content couled be used as the plant sugar content.The sugar content in the stems would raise gradually as the water lost after harvest,but it would reduce sharply after 25 days.

Key words: Sweet sorghum, Stem, Sugar content
