This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of five sweet sorghum lines in terms of agronomic characteristics in relation to grain yield and total fermentable sugar. Analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences among varieties observed for plant height, stalk yield, stripped stalk yield, stalk diameter, stalk juice volume, stalk juice yield, Brix, stillage yield, grain yield and seed size. The mean agronomic characteristics of the 5 varieties evaluated showed that ICSV 700 performed better in terms of plant height. ICSV 700 and ICSV 93046 were the top performers in terms of stalk yield, striped stalk yield, stalk diameter, stalk juice volume, stalk yield and Brix. The varieties SPV422 and ICSR93034 performed better in terms of stillage yield. SPV422, ICSR93034 and NTJ2 were among the top yielders, whereas, ICSR93034, SPV422, ICSV93046 and ICSV700 varieties were statistically similar in terms of seed size.
