Agricultural radiobiology; Sel'skokhozyaistvennaya radiobiologiya
Following a general background of information on nuclear physics related to radiation, natural and artificially created radioisotopesa, and dosimetry, the subjects discussed in a very general way include the action of ionizing radiation on plants, the significance of radioactive fission products in agriculture, the properties of such products in the environment of plants, the behavior of radioactive fission products in the soil, the entrance of /sup 90/Sr and /sup 137/ Cs into plants from the soil, methods of predicting the radiostrontium content of harvested plants and ways to decrease the radioactive fission product content of the harvest, the use of radioactive isotopes in agricultunal practice, and precautions to be used in working with radioactive substances.
