Abstract

Analysis of plants of 55 local and introduced yellow-endosperm cultivars and strains of sorghum at different growth stages showed that strain 15 3675-A (from the USA) contained no HCN or NO3-N throughout the growth period. HCN was almost absent in most of the genotypes up to 42 days after sowing, but all genotypes were not free from toxic NO3-N up to 53 days of growth. It was concluded that both HCN and NO3-N can co-exist at a particular stage, which can result in a type of poisoning of animals different from that of HCN poisoning
