Abstract

The effect of ultra violet (UV-C) radiation on germination and fungal flora of castor bean seeds was estimated with different doses stored up to 80 days interval. Results revealed that 20 and 40 min radiated castor bean seeds showed complete reduction in most of the fungi while germination of castor bean seeds were enhanced when UV-C radiations applied for 20 min. Increasing the radiation doses and storage period has been shown decrement in Aspergillus species colonisation.
