Abstract

Applications of plasmas in agriculture are fascinating researchers because of its potentiality. Plasmas are applied either for seed treatment or as foliar application of plasma-activated water (PAW) for studying agricultural yield. No work has been done so far to study the effects on growth parameters, enzymatic activities, nutritional parameters, and yield of potato (Solanum tubersum L.) grown from the second-generation seeds (G2) (seeds collected from the potato plants where foliar spray of PAW was applied). Two-fold plasma treatments were applied in this experiment: (a) potato seeds were treated in water with plasma and (b) foliar spray of PAW was applied to potato plants. Effects of plasma treatments were characterized by enzymatic activities, sugar and protein concentrations, potato plant growth and yield characters. The findings show that the plant length, stem diameter, fresh weight, and the concentrations of total chlorophyll and carotene are increased in the plants where G2 treated seeds along with foliar spray of PAWs were provided. Further, the concentrations of total soluble sugar, protein and minerals were increased. Besides, the yield of potato was enhanced by \(23.95\%\), and \(23.21\%\), respectively, in the plants where combined plasma treatments were used compared to controls of first-generation (G1) plasma treated and untreated seeds along with PAW foliar spray.

联合等离子体处理对生长和产量的影响：第二代马铃薯（Solanum tuberosum L.）种子

等离子体在农业中的应用因其潜力而吸引着研究人员。等离子体既可用于种子处理，也可作为等离子体活化水（PAW）的叶面喷施来研究农业产量。迄今为止，还没有人研究过等离子体对马铃薯（Solanum tubersum L.）第二代种子（G2）（从叶面喷洒等离子体活化水的马铃薯植株上采集的种子）的生长参数、酶活性、营养参数和产量的影响。本实验采用了两种等离子体处理方法：(a) 在水中用等离子体处理马铃薯种子；(b) 向马铃薯植株叶面喷洒 PAW。通过酶活性、糖和蛋白质浓度、马铃薯植株的生长和产量特征来描述等离子体处理的效果。研究结果表明，G2 处理种子和叶面喷洒 PAW 的植株，其植株长度、茎直径、鲜重、总叶绿素和胡萝卜素的浓度都有所增加。此外，总可溶性糖、蛋白质和矿物质的浓度也有所提高。此外，与第一代（G1）等离子体处理和未经处理的种子以及PAW叶面喷洒的对照组相比，使用联合等离子体处理的植株的马铃薯产量分别提高了23.95%和23.21%。

期刊介绍： Publishing original papers on fundamental and applied research in plasma chemistry and plasma processing, the scope of this journal includes processing plasmas ranging from non-thermal plasmas to thermal plasmas, and fundamental plasma studies as well as studies of specific plasma applications. Such applications include but are not limited to plasma catalysis, environmental processing including treatment of liquids and gases, biological applications of plasmas including plasma medicine and agriculture, surface modification and deposition, powder and nanostructure synthesis, energy applications including plasma combustion and reforming, resource recovery, coupling of plasmas and electrochemistry, and plasma etching. Studies of chemical kinetics in plasmas, and the interactions of plasmas with surfaces are also solicited. It is essential that submissions include substantial consideration of the role of the plasma, for example, the relevant plasma chemistry, plasma physics or plasma–surface interactions; manuscripts that consider solely the properties of materials or substances processed using a plasma are not within the journal’s scope.
