Abstract


A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of waste water irrigation. and graded levels of N and P fertilisation on hydrogen cyanide (ICN) and nitrate NO, contents of fodder sorghum var. co.27. The HCN and NO, contents were high in waste water irrigated fodder and the highest value was registered with cattle shed wash. Application of N increased and that of P decreased these toxic components in fodder. As crop growth advanced, a decrease in HCN and NO, contents were observed. The trends observed suggest that a delayed harvest of the fodder would certainly prove more safe.
