The invention belongs to the technical field of agriculture, relates to a sweet sorghum breeding method, in particular to a method for breeding sweet sorghum by using a heavy ionmutation breedingtechnique. The sweet sorghum breeding method is mainly characterized by comprising the following steps: (1) performing heavy ion beam radiation, namely, providing carbon, oxygen or argon heavy ion beams by using a heavy ion accelerator, and performing radiation treatment on sweet sorghum seeds at a vertical radiation terminal for 4-6 minutes under the conditions that the energy is 80-100MeV/mu, the radiation dosage is 80-120Gy and the dosage rate is 20-30Gy/minute; (2) performing mutant screening; (3) performing mutant detection; (4) performing hybridized combination optimization. Due to the adoption of the breeding method provided by the invention, after heavy ion radiation, mutant planting resources which are good in precocity property, high in sweet, high in yield and resistant to adversity can be obtained, after being planted for M3-M4 generations, the mutants can be stabilized, and the efficiency of mutant screening, mutant detection and hybridized combination blending is increased by more than 10% when being compared with that of a single crossbreeding method.
