Key words: phytoenergy crops, productivity, biological preparations, plant growth regulators, energy potential, stress resistance, restoration of degraded lands, climate change. A series of field studies on the productivity of sorghum and aster crops in the Southern Steppe zone of Ukraine were conducted on the basis of the NNPC of MNAU and a branch of the Mykolaiv National Agrarian University. The main directions were the study of the impact of agrotechnical measures, biological preparations, nutrition systems, growth regulators and fertilizers on the productivity of crops, as well as ecological and energy evaluation of their efficiency as raw materials for biofuel production. Laboratory, field and statistical methods of analysis are used in the research. The results showed that the main limiting factor of productivity is moisture availability. In 2024, harsh weather conditions negatively affected the productivity of sorghum crops, although the use of biologics such as Groundfix increased yields by an average of 8.4%. The ADVF 8322 F1 hybrid demonstrated the maximum productivity of above-ground mass. A significant influence of crops on soil microflora and their ability to adapt to stressful conditions was also established. The high energy potential of sorghum crops and Silphium pronisanofolia is confirmed by biomass heat capacity indicators (16–20 MJ/kg), which allows them to be used for the production of bioethanol, biogas or solid fuel. Jerusalem artichoke has shown versatility as a feedstock for bioethanol, biogas and pellets, while safflower has potential for biodiesel and biofuel production. Research contributes to the development of environmentally safe technologies for growing phytoenergy crops adapted to climate change. The obtained results are of strategic importance for energy independence, restoration of degraded lands, ensuring food security and socio-economic development of Ukraine.
