Summary : A pot experiment was conducted to study the effect of different soil types, soil moisture regimes, time of harvest on the HCN concentration of sorghum plants and tannin concentration of grain at maturity. With the afternoon harvest, regardless of the soil types and soil moisture regimes, the HCN concentration of sorghum plants was low compared to that of the morning harvest. With an increase in the level of soil moisture, the HCN concentration decreased both on two soil types. However, the HCN concentration is always high in Lipa clay than on Quingua sandy loam. Regardless of the time of harvest (morning and afternoon), soil moisture levels and soil types the HCN concentration decreases with the age of the crop. The tannin concentration of the sorghum grain at maturity was low, both on two soil types and at two levels of soil moisture regime.
