Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of low doses 60Co gamma rays on the seeds germination Stevia rebaudiana. For this purpose seed of VC-KH-142 IAN (Eireté) were irradiated with doses of 10 to 90 Gray (Gy). It was determined that all doses used increased the number of germinate seeds, but the dose of 10 Gy was the one that caused the greatest stimulation of seeds germination.
