BARC
Applications of Radiation in Nuclear Agriculture
Nuclear Agriculture

BARC develops high yielding seed varieties by inducing mutations using Gamma radiation. Gamma radiation only accelerates the mutations which otherwise occurs naturally over a much longer periods of time. So far BARC released 49 seed varieties for commercial exploitation. Mutations can be in such a way that the crops mature early, to withstand biotic and abiotic stresses and to obtain better nutritional quality.
