Applications of Radioisotopes in Agriculture

crops that are drought and disease resistant, are of higher quality, have shorter growing time and produce a higher yield. Radioactive elements emit a variety of radiations and energy particles during decay which are used in health care, agriculture and physical sciences for basic research and in wide range of applications (Sahoo & Sahoo, 2006).
