The objective of the present study was to determine the effects of different irrigation levels applied with surface drip irrigation (SDI) and subsurface drip irrigation (SSDI) method on yield and bioethanol productivity of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. cv. Early Sumac) in the West Mediterranean Region of Turkey. Field study was conducted in Bat Akdeniz Agricultural Research Institute in Antalya during the growing seasons of 2017-2018. Five different irrigation levels designated as full irrigation (I-100) with no water stress and slight (I-75), mild (I-50), severe water stress (I-25) and no irrigation (I-0) treatments were applied. The results showed that different irrigation levels applied had statistically significant effect on yield and yield components such as plant height, leaf number, leaf area index, chlorophyll context, brix, sucrose, glucose, fructose and bioethanol. In both of the drip irrigation methods, water deficit stress significantly (P
