Abstract

Seeds of Mungbean Vigna radiata (L.) Wilezek cv. Local and Indian were treated with different doses of gamma rays viz.;5.5R, 11.1R,16.6R, 22.2R, 27.7R & 33.2R. Observations were recorded on the effect of gamma rays on an important characters viz.; seedling length, root length, number of secondary branches, length of main branches, length of secondary branches, number of pods, length of pods and weight of dry 100 seeds. The significant effect on the growth of two cultivars, with best dosages of (33.2, 27.7 and 22.2 k/rad) respectively.
