Abstract

By the aim to investigate the qualitative and quantitative composition changes of Vicia faba L. var. major seed, after γ-rays radiation analyses of chemical composition are conducted of starting seed material, M1, M2 and M3 generation cultivated during 1998-2000. Seed exposition under different γ-rays (40, 65 and 90 Gy), is performed in the phase of germination, 70-90 hours after seed imbibation. Plant cultivation is conducted in strong controlled conditions without use of any chemicals. There were analysed more parameters such as: dry matters, crude proteins, crude fibber, crude ash, nitrogen free matters, calcium, phosphorus, theoretical strach value, practical strach value, No of oat units and digestible units.
