The invention provides a method for cultivating sugar-purpose sweet sorghum in sand wasteland. The method comprises the steps that when a tillage mode of convention planting film mulching or furrow cropping is adopted, wherein a mode of planting two plants in each hole is adopted in order to achieve the purpose of harvesting stalks, a mode of planting one plant in each hole is adopted in order toachieve the purpose of harvesting seeds, and a mode of planting one plant in each hole is adopted in order to achieve the purposes of harvesting both the stalks and the seeds; before planting after the soil is ploughed, 30t / ha farmyard fertilizer is applied as base fertilizer, and then 600kg / ha chemical fertilizer is applied for topdressing, wherein a topdressing method comprises the steps that 30-35 days after seedling emergence, 150kg / ha urea is applied, 225kg / ha compound fertilizer is applied in the jointing period and heading period separately, the total amount of irrigation in the growthperiod is 7,800 t / ha, the amount of film pressing water before sowing is 600 t / ha, irrigation from seedling formation to ending of the growth period is conducted 6 times, and the amount of irrigationevery time is 1,200 t / ha. By means of the method, the sugar-purpose sweet sorghum in the sand wasteland grows and develops well and has a high biological yield, soluble sugar accumulation, seed quality and yield, the water saving efficiency is high, little fertilizer is used, the economic investment is low, the water saving amount can at least reach 2,400 t / ha, and the economic benefits are far higher than those of corn planting.
