Growth of plants is highly influenced by various environmental factors such as temperature, sunshine, and nutritional condition. Therefore, it is important to control those factors in order to verify the effect of specific stimulus, such as plasma treatment, on the plant growth. In this study, we introduced the climate chamber in which rice plants can be cultivated until the harvest under control of environmental factors. We investigated the growth and yields of the plants whose growth after germination were promoted with plasma treatment to the seeds.
