This study deals with the three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic Casson fluid flow, heat and mass transfer over a stretching surface in the presence of non-uniform heat source/sink, thermal radiation and Soret effects. The governing partial differential equations are transformed to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation, which are then solved numerically using Runge-Kutta based shooting technique. We obtained good accuracy of the present results by comparing with the exited literature. The influence of dimensionless parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles along with the friction factor, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are discussed with the help of graphs and tables. It is found that the positive values of non-uniform heat source/sink parameters acts like heat generators and helps to develop the temperature profiles of the flow.
