Abstract

Chickpea seed were treated with various concentration/dose of gamma rays (Dry 05 to 40kR) and (Wet 05 to 20kR) for studying seed germination, seedling height, pollen sterility, percent survival and percent reduction. Seed germination, survival at maturity, seedling height and percent reduction decreased with increasing concentration/dose whereas with increased dose of gamma rays pollen sterilty increases.
