The sodium picrate test for hydrocyanic acid was used (0 evaluate BB.S10cassava plants for cyanogenic content. Acyanogenic plants were not found in spite of the large number of plants rested. A small number of plants exhibited low to medium degree of cyanogenesis while the rest of [he plants showed...

description The sodium picrate test for hydrocyanic acid was used (0 evaluate BB.S10cassava plants for cyanogenic content. Acyanogenic plants were not found in spite of the large number of plants rested. A small number of plants exhibited low to medium degree of cyanogenesis while the rest of [he plants showed a high degree of cyanogenesis. The screening method is simple and sensitive and lends itself to large •scale field screening.
