Seeds from three varieties of cucumbers were exposed to 1000 R of gamma radiation. Conditions for growth of plants in pots and hothouses are described with regard to temperature, humidity, and fertilizers. The tabulated results show that seed irradiation increased the yield of plants to varying degrees. Data are presented on harvest amounts of the three varieties of cucumbers. (HLW)
