“…It did not negatively affect lettuce growth and yield and may lead to a reduction in nitrate residues and an increase in essential amino acids in the lettuce. A positive effect on the growth of lettuce plants was also observed in [131]. However, this effect diminished over time, and there were no substantial differences in the root system between the PAW-treated and control plants.…”

This review is devoted to a topic of high interest in recent times—the use of plasma technologies in agriculture. The increased attention to these studies is primarily due to the demand for the intensification of food production and, at the same time, the request to reduce the use of pesticides. We analyzed publications, focusing on research conducted in the last 3 years, to identify the main achievements of plasma agrotechnologies and key obstacles to their widespread implementation in practice. We considered the main types of plasma sources used in this area, their advantages and limitations, which determine the areas of application. We also considered the use of plasma-activated liquids and the efficiency of their production by various types of plasma sources.

“…A distance of 5 mm was chosen to maximize the peroxide concentration [10]. The total volume of treated water was 215 mL, and the treatment time was 40 min [37]. The total volume of the water was split into two samples, 200 mL for the bacteria treatment and 15 mL for the PAW aging measurements.…”

In this comparative study, the bacterial inactivation efficiency of plasma-activated water (PAW) generated by two distinct plasma reactors, one utilizing a nitrogen plasma jet electrode and the other a hybrid argon plasma reactor, was explored. The present study involved the assessment of antimicrobial activity against suspensions of three Gram-positive and three Gram-negative bacterial strains in their planktonic cell state. Bacterial suspensions were introduced into PAW five days after generation. Subsequently, the viability of the bacteria was assessed at various time intervals, specifically at 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 10, and 24 h, in order to evaluate the effect of inactivation. Structural changes in bacteria after PAW treatment were assessed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The physicochemical properties of PAW, including pH, conductivity, and concentrations of H2O2, NO2−, and NO3− during aging were measured. The present study demonstrated the effective inactivation of the tested bacterial strains by PAW. Gram-positive bacteria displayed greater resistance compared to Gram-negative species, with the lowest reductions in bacterial counts observed for B. cereus, and the highest for Escherichia coli O157:H7. Morphological damage was evident across all bacterial species examined. Physicochemical measurements showed slow decay of the reactive species in the aging process. This study illustrated the potential utility of PAW as an alternative disinfectant.

“…Another group proposed adapting transformation methods in the agrifood industry (contribution 5). The agricultural practices include the assessment of different sustainable practices classified as nutrient (contributions 6-8), soil (contribution 9), water (contribution 11), and crop management (contributions [11][12][13][14][15][16]. The results demonstrate the importance of these agricultural practices in improving the agrosystems' resilience and adaptation to climate change (Table 1).…”
