Effects of Ultraviolet Radiation on the Growth and Germination of Sorghum (Sorghum Bicolor)

The essential requirement for plant growth is the sun. UV radiation, the damaging component of solar radiation, can reduce plant growth by decreasing the metabolic rate of photosynthesis. Plant quality and growth are significantly influenced by the light's wavelength, intensity, and exposure. The study's goal was to examine “the Effects of UV Irradiation on the growth and yield of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)” growth, photomorphogenesis, and stress tolerance. The study used the CRD technique of analysis because of its useful findings from pre-planting UV-light exposure of the seeds and subsequent monitoring of their germination and growth. It is common knowledge that UV radiation alters plant architecture, having a considerable impact on attractive crops and increasing their market value. Abiotic stress caused by UV exposure has two effects: it boosts resistance to pests and pathogens and lessens postharvest quality degradation. This study will aid academics and businesses in their understanding of how UV radiation affects the biological output of grains.
