This study evaluated how nitrate levels in forage sorghum change throughout the day. Samples were taken every two hours from 8am to 6pm from four quadrants of a field on two separate days. The samples were analyzed for nitrate levels. The results showed no significant variation in nitrate levels due to time of day. However, there was a difference seen between the nitrate levels of samples taken on different days. The study will be repeated in the summer of 2008 to obtain more data.
