Use of Radioisotopes to Produce High Yielding Crops in Order to Increase Agricultural Production

Abstract

Nuclear technology can play an important role in innovating weapons capabilities and energy. With the use of the influence of radioisotopes, the agricultural sector has made tremendous progress. Fertilizers are used in agriculture to increase soil fertility, thereby increasing crop yields. Radio-isotopes are used to produce high-yield crop seeds to increase agricultural production globally. The use of chemical fertilizers is very expensive; improper use will lead to a waste of money and resources and may cause damage to the environment. Radioisotopes can be applied in a variety of ways to resolve many problems in agricultural production and improve industry efficiency. These applications are particularly important for resource-poor developing countries or regions where water is scarce as a result of drought, and for protecting natural resources while addressing food security challenges. This article will explore how to use radiation to improve plant nutrition in fertilizers and produce seed variants, both of which have created higher efficiency in seed production.
