The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) uses radiation to sterilize pests, reducing their populations and minimizing the need for chemical insecticides.
Radioactive isotopes help measure soil erosion and nutrient levels, enabling better soil and water conservation practices.
Radiation-induced mutations create new plant varieties with higher yields, improved resistance to diseases, and better adaptability to environmental stress.
Ionizing radiation is used to sterilize food, eliminating pathogens and extending shelf life without compromising nutritional quality.
Nuclear techniques aid in the early detection and control of transboundary and zoonotic diseases, protecting livestock and human health.
Stable isotopes track fertilizer uptake and nutrient use efficiency, helping optimize fertilizer application and enhance crop growth.
Nuclear methods detect contaminants and residues in food products, ensuring compliance with safety standards and enhancing consumer trust.
