Optimizing Tomato Bareto (Lycopersicum esculentum MILL) Varieties Growth and Production Using Gamma Ray Radiation Technology
Abstract
Research is currently being conducted on the impact of gamma-ray radiation on the growth and productivity of the Bareto tomato variety (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill), renowned for its sizable, vibrant red fruits and unique sweet flavor. This study aims to establish the most effective dosage of gamma radiation for promoting seed germination, enhancing plant height, and increasing leaf count. The experiment utilized a non-factorial, completely randomized design involving four treatments (0 Gy, 100 Gy, 200 Gy, and 300 Gy) with five replications. The findings indicated that doses of 200 Gy and 300 Gy led to a significant enhancement in seed germination, demonstrating a consistent improvement in the viability of Bareto tomato seeds. However, the height of the plants displayed a negligible rise at radiation doses of 200 Gy and 300 Gy compared to the control and 100 Gy, suggesting that the impact of radiation dosage on plant height development may not be significant. In contrast, there was a notable increase in the quantity of leaves at dosages of 200 Gy and 300 Gy during observations at 2 and 3 weeks after planting (WAP). This suggests that elevated levels of gamma radiation had a favorable impact on leaf growthDownloads
