Atomic energy in Yugoslav agriculture

With the assistance of the United Nations Special Fund, a major project for extending atomic energy applications in agriculture is to be undertaken in Yugoslavia. IAEA will act as the Executing Agency for the project, which will be carried out over a period of three years and will include a number of activities to develop nuclear research and training for the improvement of overall agricultural production, especially in respect of grain and livestock. Among the principal aims are improvement in the use of fertilizers, improved irrigation and drainage, better breeding and selection of crop plants, and better livestock management.
