Title: Hydrocyanic acid content in released hybrids, varieties and parental lines of grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) at two growth stages
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.
