Seeds are affected by radioactivity in fertilizer absorbed by plants.
Specifically, plants can survive low levels of radioactivity. But the seeds can be affected by radioactivity if they develop during or just after exposure. Generally, it takes more than slight doses to do more than kill micro-organisms feeding off vulnerable, young seeds.

How can nuclear radiation be absorbed?
Yes. Any element which is radioactive may bond together with other molecules and atoms, just as much as any other non-radioactive element. However, radioactive elements would have a slightly greater pull towards their bonded species if their nucleus has more neutrons than what is normal for non-radioactive elements.
Is it true that bananas are radioactive and if you eat too many it can kill you?
Bananas are slightly radio active because they contain potassium. You could not eat enough to be affected

What are fertilizer bonds?
you mean what chemical bonds? it depends on the fertilizer, nor is the formula always available to the public Sounds like a cute nickname for D-grade or slightly above D-grade debentures--manure is a fertilizer, hence the reference.
Is oxygen stable or radioactive?
Oxygen, under normal conditions, is non-radioactive. But there are traces of radioactive isotopes present which makes the oxygen slightly radioactive. Additionally, these isotopes have long half-lives, so the radiation given off will not be a lot within a period of time.

Fertilizers are usually basic compounds but solution of some as Ammonium nitrate and sulphate are slightly acidic.
Is lutetium radioactive?
For most practical purposes, lutetium can be regarded as stable, though it is slightly radioactive. 97.41% of lutetium found in nature is stable, and 2.59% is of an isotope with a half life of 37,800,000,000 years. Like all other elements, lutetium has synthetic radioactive isotopes.
Is marble radioactive?
If you are talking about the geological stone called marble then no it is not. If you are referring to the little stone or glass balls used in games then some of them are a little radioactive. If you have glass marbles you can check this by shining a black light on them. If they glow they have a little radioactivity in them. Not that it is enough to harm anyone. Anything that glows in the dark is radioactive.
