The Effect of Surface Barrier Discharge Plasma Products on the Germination of Cereals

详细

Seeds of cereals (spring and winter wheat, winter triticale, and winter rye) were treated with products of surface barrier discharge plasma for various times (30 and 60 min) on exposure outside the zone of active discharge. It is established that the seeds of cereals tested differently responded to this treatment, which is probably related to the degree of their stability under oxidative stress conditions. The response to treatment of the seeds occurring outside the active discharge zone is manifested at greater times of exposure than in the case of direct treatment of seeds by the surface discharge products.
