Applications of Radioisotopes in Agriculture

Abstract

Radioisotopes decay by emission of radiation and energy they posses,

can be utilized in wide range of agricultural applications. Nuclear

scientists and technologist are unlocking the secrets of many

agricultural problems, which could not have been possible with

conventional methods. Radioisotopes were used for producing high

yielding crop seeds to increase the agricultural yield. Radioisotopes

were also used for determining the function of fertilizers in different

plants. Radiations from certain radioisotopes were also used for killing

insects which damage the food grains. Cereals, fruits, vegetables and

canned food can be stored for longer periods by gently exposing them

to radiations. Applications of Radioisotopes and radiations are helping

us to find the solution of problems in much shorter time. The

production of radioisotopes by nuclear reactors and other atomic

installations have increased the use of radioisotopes in the field of

agriculture. India is a leading producer of radioisotopes in the world

and our nuclear scientists are engaged in developing various

technologies for the beneficial uses of radioisotopes. This article

briefly describes the role of radioisotopes and their radiation in the

field of agriculture.
