STUDIES ON THE EFFECTS OF FAST NEUTRON IRRADIATION AND SODIUM AZIDE ON MORPHOLOGICAL AND YIELD PARAMETERS OF SESAME
ABSTRACT This investigation was carried out to study the effects of Fast Neutron Irradiation (FNI) and Sodium Azide (SA) on three varieties of Sesame (Sesamum indicum) viz; Kenana - 4, Ex-Sudan and E-8. Three hundred seeds of each variety were exposed to (FNI) from Americium-Beryllium source with flux 1.5x104  n.cm-2s-1  given the does 0,4,8,12 and 16µSv. Three hundred seeds of each variety were also treated with sodium azide at five ...
