Correlation of characters contributing to alcohol yield in sorghum was studied using hybrids obtained from a partial diallel cross of six sweet sorghum and one grain sorghum types. The interrelationship among the characters at genotypic level indicated that alcohol yield had significant positive correlation with total sugar, sucrose per cent, brix, juice yield, cane yield and girth of the stem. Low reducing sugar content is also essential for high alcohol extraction. Selection for high total sugars, sucrose content and brix will lead to high alcohol production.
