Gamma Radiation Effects (Cs¹³⁷) on the Local Variety Culture of Corn (Zea mays L.) Under Ecological Conditions of Kenge

The aim of the present study was to effects gamma radiation (Cs137) on local variety maize (Zea mays L.) usually cultivated at KENGE for possible track its improvement. approach consisted irradiating corn seeds doses ranging from 0 300 Gy intervals 100 each using CONSERVATOME LISA I irradiator. irradiated were sown a plot 176.40 m2 surface area according device in completely random blocks. In field, some cultural precautions consequent yield have been taken (weeding, ridging same time as weeding, mulching, and watering). Different cultivation parameters determined such germination rate, crown diameter, plant size number leaves / one part and, another part, length cobs, ear kernels/ear, kernel weights per plot.
 From results obtained it turned out that dose with average values 67% 220.80 cm plants, 1505 327.25 g behaved well relation witness persons. gave far lower than those (19%, 67.66 cm, 713 90.13 g). these analyzes, is recommend an in-depth improvement LD50 169.33 Gy.
