- 1. Plant Genetics Div., Institute of Nuclear Agriculture, Mymensingh (Bangladesh)
Description
Mungbean and blackgram are important grain legumes in Bangladesh, however, the productivity is low. Varietal improvement should be a basic requirement for increasing production. Following treatment of seeds with 60Co gamma rays a number of positive deviants were selected having improved yield factors. (author)
