- Abstract
The EDXRF technique offers simultaneous detection and determination of multiple trace elements in F3 generation seed of Cicer arietinum L. plant, developed from irradiated group of 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 kGy and 0.20 kGy using 60Co gamma source (0.12 kGy/h). The accumulations of elements in edible seeds were significantly different ( p ≤ 0.05) in different absorbed dose. Out of 14 elementals (S, Cl, K, P, Ca, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr and Cd), the accumulations of K, P, Ca, S, Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cd, Rb, Sr and Cl were increased in seed with in the dose range of 0.15–0.20 kGy, except V and Co. Also, the yielding potentials of seeds were increased with in the dose range of 0.15–0.20 kGy.
