Journal: AL-MUKHTAR JOURNAL OF SCIENCES
Year: 2018

This study aimed at the possibility of using X-rays in the control of fungi. Treatments of healthy and infected seeds of peas with microwave radiation resulted in a decrease in the frequency of fungi in the tested seeds, and increasing the time of treatment leads to a significant reduction in its number with a complete elimination of Alternarai iso1 fungi isolated from the seeds when exposed to microwave radiations for 120 seconds. The radiations did not have any impact on Fusarium sp iso3. Howe
