Sweet sorghum plants with tillers produce more sugar compared to plants with tillers removed, leading to higher sugar yield. This is because the tillers help increase biomass and sugar content in the plants. The nitrogen content in the plants also plays a role in sugar yield, with plants retaining tillers having higher nitrogen accumulation. Overall, keeping tillers on sweet sorghum plants can help maximize sugar yield and reduce cultivation costs.
