Non power nuclear application proved to be effective in different agricultural purposes, e.g. seeds germination, preservation or modification. Is there any global or regional data base on the recommended exposure doses for different agricultural crops?
Irradiation is an effective form of food preservation that extends the shelf life of the food and therefore reduces the spoilage of food. The process also benefits the consumer by reducing the risk of illnesses caused by foodborne diseases. Food irradiation may be achieved using low-dose, medium-dose, or high-dose levels of radiation. Low dose irradiation (< 2 kGy) is used to delay sprouting of vegetables and aging of fruits; medium dose (between 1 and 10 kGy) is used to reduce the levels of pathogenic organisms, similar to pasteurization; and high dose (>10 kGy) is used to achieve sterility of the product.

Thank you very much. The book is really good and fundamental, unfortunately can't see all the pages.
