“…From these results, it can be concluded that, the NCAPJ has a promise effect on germination improvement. Previous research showed that the dry mas of radish sprouts which treated with non-thermal plasma recorded higher value with concerning untreated one [65]. However, Krentsel et al assumed that either of two processes or both accomplish the impact of the plasma treatment on seeds; that is, (1) a direct treatment on the seed coat and (2) an effect on the cells inside the seed.…”

The possibility to improve the germination characterization of the wheat seeds by cold atmospheric nitrogen plasma jet treatment was report. Spectroscopic measurements were performed to identify the constituent particles of a nitrogen atmospheric plasma jet. Spectroscopic measurements revealed that the particles with relatively high energy excited states exist inside the jet nozzle. During this study the cold atmospheric plasma parameters were set for attain the highest rate of the germination seeds. The nitrogen used in this system as carrier gas. The nitrogen cold atmospheric plasma operated at 14 l/min as a fixed flow rate. The operation of plasma jet at 14 l/min was represented the suitable plasma dose to enhancement the germination parameters. The N 2 first positive system (N 2 1+), N 2 second positive system (N 2 2+) and N 2 ion first negative system (N 2 + 1−) were represented the emission spectra observed inside the jet nozzle. The germination characteristics of wheat seeds have been significantly enhanced after cold atmospheric plasma treatment. The mean weight of fresh sprout was 823.82 mg for untreated seeds and increased to 1231.80, 1369.50 and 1342.46 mg for 2 min, 4 min, and 6 min treatments respectively. The effects of nitrogen cold atmospheric plasma jet on the growth parameter depended on exposure time.

“…From a physiological standpoint, the use of plasma in agriculture is better known for the positive effects on seed germination 7 , 23 , 24 or on early growth plant 21 , 25 , 26 . For instance, NTP treatment (140 W–160 W power) on maize seed increased the germination rates by 28%, the length of the wheat radicle was effectively increased by 8.7 cm and 3.3 cm, the dry weight of the wheat was increased by 10.1%; and germinative energy of the aging seeds have been greatly increased 27 .…”

Plasma activated water (PAW) can represent an alternative to chemical fertilizers in agriculture. The effects of PAW treatment applied in two concentrations (1.5 or 3.0 mg L−1 NO3−) on some morphological, physiological, biochemical parameters and yield of Lactuca sativa L. grown in two different pot volumes (400 or 3200 cm3) were investigated in this study. The results showed that both PAW concentrations did not influence the germination, once the process was initiated. Positive effects of the treatments were registered on the length of radicle and hypocotyls of lettuce at a concentration of 1.5 mg L−1 NO3− (PAW I), the chlorophyll content was significantly increased at a concentration of 3.0 mg L−1 NO3− (PAW II) and bigger pot volume, also the foliar weight and area. No significant differences between the treated and untreated plants were recorded for the root weight, leaf length and width. The dry weight was significantly higher for the lettuce treated with PAW I and II grown in big volume pots at 57 days after transplanting (DAT) and small volume pots at 64 DAT. The nitrites content of the lettuce grown in big pots was lower than of the lettuce grown in small pots, regardless of the PAW treatment. Contrary, the nitrates content was higher in the lettuce grown in big pots (up to 36.4 mg KNO3/g DW), compared to small pots (under 0.3 mg KNO3/g DW).

“…Recently, studies show that cold atmospheric plasma systems could promote seed germination and growth [1,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Increment seed germination rate, growth development, and crop yield by plasma treatment have been reported in various crops: spinach [16], wheat [8,13], soybean [9], and radish [17]. Cold atmospheric plasma systems consist of positively and negatively charged particles (free electrons and ions), and neutral activated species including excited molecules, UV photons, long and short lived free radicals, reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, and some ozone [18].…”

Recently, cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) with the unique bio-disinfection features is used in various fields of industry, medicine, and agriculture. The main objectives of this work were to design FSG plasma (a semi-automatic device) and investigate the effect of the cold plasma in the enhancement of the Pea and Zucchini seed germination. Plasma irradiation time was studied to obtain a proper condition for the germination enhancement of seeds. The growth rate was calculated by measuring length of root and stem and dry weight of plants treated by plasma. To investigate drought resistance of plants, all treated and untreated samples were kept in darkness without water for 48 h. From the experimental results, it could be confirmed both drought resistance and germination of seedlings increased after plasma was applied to seeds at 30 s, while seeds treated whiten 60 s showed a decrease in both germination rate and seedling growth.
