Oil remains the world's primary energy source. As it is a non-renewable source, as the demand for fuels increases, the search for renewable energy sources intensifies. The world production of sorghum has remained stable over the last few years, in the range above 60 million tons. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the adaptability of Sorghum Biomassa BRS 716 in different fertilization strategies in the Northwest of the State of Rio Grande do Sul. The experiment was carried out in 2 agricultural years, containing 4 replications, namely: T1 – Without Fertilization; T2 – NPK fertilization (Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium); T3 – Fertilization with DLS (Liquid Swine Manure) both according to the Fertilization and Liming Manual for the States of RS and SC. As a result, through estimates for the potential production of bioethanol from sorghum biomass in the region with production varying between 1st and 2nd year of cultivation with 16,000 liters to 30,000 liters of bioethanol/hectare, and corn productivity produced 371 liters to 2,600 liters of bioethanol/hectare. No significant differences were observed between the treatments, only in the years of cultivation, due to the climatic intemper that occurred in the period. Sorghum stands out as a potentially outstanding crop in the region, mainly in its final stage of development. It is considered that sorghum BRS 716 showed high yields in the region for PMV (potential green mass).
