Keywords:Application of plasma for agriculture

Research on the application of cold plasma for agriculture has rapidly advanced. However, there are few investigations in the field. In this study, we regularly performed cold plasma treatment on rice plants during the cultivation in the test field of Nagoya Univ. The results indicated that various beneficial effects were detected such as the growth promotion and the yields from the plants with plasma treatment.
