The consequence of pre-treatment of UV-A (366 nm) and UV-C (254 nm) radiation on seed germination and growth of Vigna radiata was investigated at three different exposure period (2, 4 and 6 hours). Supplementation of UV-A enhanced the germination rate, specific leaf area, root and shoot length and dry weight than the UV-C supplemented plants.
