Abstract

Atmospheric pressure multi-tube air bubble discharge plasma was generated with 0.5–10 kV, 0.05–5 kHz bipolar power supply within a water treatment reactor. Water was treated in the reactor with an air flow rate of 5 lpm for 15 min and the chemical properties of plasma activated water (PAW) were determined. PAWs were applied 2, 4 and 6 times as foliar spray to the potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plants during the vegetative growth stage. Potato plant growth and yield parameters, enzymatic activities, sugar and protein concentrations were studied. The results reveal that the (a) potato plant length, stem diameter, fresh weight, total chlorophyll and carotene concentrations are enhanced by ~ 14, ~ 23, ~ 34.45, ~ 37 and ~ 13.2%, respectively, with respect to control, (b) enzymatic activities were enhanced, (c) concentrations of total soluble protein and sugar were increased in the produced potato tubers, and (d) tuber yield was also enhanced by ~ 14.15%.
