Abstract

Seed priming is a pre-treatment of seeds leading to the improvement of their germination, the plant growth, and the product yield. In this study we investigated the possibility of the use of non-thermal plasma operating in atmospheric pressure air for seed priming with the objective to improve the yield of pea seeds. Two priming ways were used: an indirect way by using plasma activated water (PAW) generated by the transient spark discharge with water electrospray or the glow discharge batch treatment and a direct exposure of seeds to the pulsed corona discharge. After treatment, the seeds were planted in the outdoor field for about 14 weeks until harvest. The direct plasma treatment resulted in two key results: the strong effectiveness of the pulsed corona plasma improving the yield, and the long-term effect of the plasma seed treatment. The results of the indirect treatment showed that the pea plants from the seeds primed using PAW gained some improved growth parameters, especially the number of seeds per pod and the total number of seeds per plant. The scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that PAW and direct treatment induced some morphology changes at the surface of the pea seeds. This study documents a long-term effect of non-thermal plasma seed priming and contributes to the plasma agriculture applications by suggesting the implementation of non-thermal plasma direct or indirect treatments into the field.
