Abstract excerpt
Electron beam accelerators are being used for many industrial applications including food and agriculture. A 10MeV linear accelerator facility was standardized for low dose application 0.1-1 kGy) in pulse mode using unscanned scattered beam for irradiation of groundnut seeds for mutation breeding. Using this facility, 50% growth reduction (GR50) dose was standardized in five groundnut genotypes. There were...
