Abstract
A CASE of livestock poisoning from hybrid sorghum led to the analysis of the hybrid and local varieties, when it was found that the hybrid contained about twice as much hydrocyanic acid (HCN) as the local variety. Subsequently, it was thought that the high HCN content of the hybrid could be attributed either to the variety or to the higher dressing of nitrogen which it had received. The present study was therefore undertaken to determine the effect of variety, nitrogen and soil moisture content on the HCN content of fodder sorghum
