Non-Thermal Plasma Treatment of Agricultural Seeds for Stimulation of Germination, Removal of Surface Contamination and Other Benefits: A Review
Abstract
The presence of pathogens and other stresses at germination and seedling stages affect the successful establishment of crops. The use of non-thermal plasma is a new approach to reduce such stresses. Plasma can interact with seeds and change their surface characteristics by etching, introducing functional groups and coating with exotic materials. Emerging evidence indicate that plasma treatment of seeds can enhance germination and seedling growth in crops by removal of microbial layers, changes in water uptake and other changes. Here, we review the status of research and show the potential role that plasma technology can play in addressing the challenges in food production. Major progress is possible by plasma treatments at or near atmospheric pressure where batch processing of large seed samples is possible.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
