Abstract excerpt

Field-grown maize hybrids were assessed for variability in (137)Cs accumulation in vegetative parts of young and mature maize shoots and grains during 2 years with contrasting climatic conditions. Trials were carried out at different sites in the Tula region of Russia, which is characterized by a highly homogenous soil classified as Luvic Chernozem according to FAO/UNESCO, and average contamination levels of...
