Gamma and Beta Radiation Effect on Number of Effective Germinations and Growth Rate of Triticale Plant

The triticale plant was produced by humans in the late 19th century from the combination of wheat and rye. This plant is much richer than wheat in terms of nutritional value and combined percentage of elements. In the last few years, there have been reports of diseases and damages of the triticale plant. Irradiation of mixture gamma and beta rays with a suitable dose increases resistance, improves various traits, and increases the percentage of number of effective germinations, growth, seedling length, etc. in triticale plants. The simulation results with MCNPX code in the period of 1 to 6 days, with iodine 131 source (mixture of gamma-beta rays) and with 200mCi activity, doses of 23, 43, 50, 63, 80, 95, and 110 Gy has been obtained and in the stage of planting samples different and normal, the 63Gy sample performed better than other samples in terms  number of germinations effective and growth index
