Improving seed germination by means of low-temperature plasma
Project goals
The aim of project is application of plasma technologies based on the barrier discharge at atmospheric pressure for surface treatment of seeds. The aim is to improve seed germination, destruction of pathogens on seeds and plants (fungi, viruses, bacteria) and reduce the amount of chemicals used in the production of seed and in the growth of plants.

Zlepšení klíčivosti semen účinkem nízkoteplotního plazmatu
Annotation in Czech
Projekt se zabývá aplikací plazmové technologie založené na bariérovém výboji za atmosferického tlaku na povrchovou úpravu semen. Cílem je zlepšení klíčivosti semen, likvidace původců chorob semen a rostlin (houby, viry, bakterie) a omezení množství používaných chemických prostředků při výrobě osiva i při růstu rostlin.
