- Intervention effect Sorghum plant height was maximum at 105 DAS and lowest at 60 DAS.
- Intervention effect Sorghum dry matter yield was maximum at 105 DAS and lowest at 60 DAS.
- Intervention effect Acid and neutral detergent fiber and lignin were highest at 120 DAS and lowest at 60 DAS.
- Intervention effect Cellulose and hemicellulose were highest at 120 DAS and lowest at 60 DAS.
- Intervention effect Specific methane yield was maximum at 60 DAS and minimum at 120 DAS.
- Intervention effect Methane yield per hectare was maximum when sorghum was harvested after 105 DAS.
- Association Dry matter yield was strongly and positively correlated with methane yield.
- Association Lignin concentration was negatively related to specific methane yield.
- Recommendation Sorghum can be harvested after 105 DAS to maximize biomethane yield.
