Field study was conducted to evaluate the inter- and intra-specific variations in sensitivity of two cultivars each of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. HD 2329 and HUW 234) and mung bean (Vigna radiata L. cv. Malviya Jyoti and Malviya Janpriya) to supplemental levels of UV-B irradiation (sUV-B, 280–315 nm) with and without recommended levels of mineral nutrients. Results showed decrease in photosynthetic pigments and biomass of all the four cultivars due to sUV-B radiation. Antioxidative defense system was activated in all the cultivars after irradiation with sUV-B. SOD, peroxidase and total thiol contents increased, while catalase activity and ascorbic acid contents decreased under sUV-B irradiation. On the basis of biomass, UV-B sensitivity can be arranged in decreasing order as: Malviya Janpriya < Malviya Jyoti < HD 2329 < HUW 234. Application of mineral nutrients (N, P and K) showed significant positive response in all cultivars by ameliorating the negative impact of sUV-B.
