Abstract
The presence of hydrocyanic acid in all known sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] plants and its toxicity to cattle when present in high concentration makes it nccessary to monitor the HCN content. The HCN content in the green crop (at the flowering stage) and in the partially dry crop (at grain maturity) is not known for many,of the grain hybrids and varieties released for cultivation by the All-India Co-ordioated Sorghum Improvement Project. The present study was conducted to assess the HCN content in released' grain hybrids, varieties and their parents at the fowering stage and at grain maturity.
