Agriculture characters, resistance, nutrition quality of the local sorghum accessions were investigated. It was indicated that the amount and percentage of accessions with high plant height was in majority, secondly accessions with highest plant height. Duration of most of local sorghum was 106~120 days; 1000-kernel weight was centralized at 20.1~30g; Spike grain weight pool at 30.1~70g; the local sorghum with loose spike was most popular, those of red grain or black hull, either. Resisting character were concerning, 2 accessions were at one grade for saline tolerance, 4 were at one grade for drought tolerance, 2 were immune for smut, most accessions were worse for bollworm and aphid resistance among examined accessions. Rough protein content of 79.16% accessions was under 12.5%, that of 7 was above 15%, as for lysine content, 81.54% was between 0.21%~0.40%, that of 4 was above 0.45%, average content of tannin was 0.645%, tannin content was almost normal distribution among tested accessions. In a word, variation of agriculture characters, resistance, nutrition quality of the local sorghum accessions in Shandong province was rich, and sorghum breeding can be provided with better accessions.
