Sorghum bicolor/Sorghum young plants contain poisonous chemical. The crop at early stages contains Hydrocyanic Acid or Dhurin. HCN in excess of 200ppm concentration is toxic to animals. Hence, harvesting should not be done prior to 45 days from sowing. Heavy nitrogen fertilisation and water stress increases HCN content. Silage of bay making removes the toxin. In summer , irrigation before harvest may be effective in reducing HCN. Danger of HCN poisoning is greatest at immature stages of sorghum growth and decreases with maturity. Dhurin levels ard most potent jn young plants under 6 weeks old , yohng regrowth , high soil nitrogen level , drought. Usually cutting the plants & chopping & sun-curing czn rdduce HCN levels because the HCN cañ evaporate with the loss in forage moisture. . . .
