Atomic energy in Agriculture

Atomic energy can be put to various constructive uses. Small amount of it can be used for a very large amount of heating or electricity in industrial undertaking and factories. Atomic radiation helps chemical action in the process of polymerization which further helps in the radiation processes of raw materials - steel, plastics, and rubber etc. Radio-isotopes are finding many natural uses. Atomic radiations electrify the air and are used for making so many other things. Atomic energy can also be applied in the field of agriculture. According to certain experiments agricultural yields can be added by thousands of tons by the use of radio-active tracers and fertilizers. Atomic radiation can be applied to seeds which can yield many times the normal one. Atomic energy can also help in preservation of foodstuffs for a longer time. It can also help the productivity of foodstuffs in regions where agricultural processes cannot be otherwise carried out.
