Bioenergy Sorghum Wax, A Potentially Valuable Coproduct, Enhances Crop’s Resilience
Researchers at Texas A&M AgriLife Research and the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences have identified a new attribute of bioenergy sorghum: high wax production. This discovery opens up a range of commercial possibilities, as plant waxes are valuable in cosmetics, inks, food coatings, and biofuels. The plant’s high wax production, around 90-180 pounds per acre, could provide growers with an additional source of income, adding to the plant’s existing benefits of biomass production and soil improvement.
