Original Abstract

In this work, we investigated the effect of plasma activated water (PAW) prepared by pin hole electrode generating plasma directly in liquids with synthetic air flowing into the discharge on plant vitality and growth. Distilled as well as tap water was treated by plasma discharge. Content of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in PAW was determined colorimetrically by using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. We used pot experiment with radish (Raphanus sativa L.) plants to investigate the effect of long-term treatment with PAW on vitality and growth. The effect on the growth was observed through determination of fresh weight and dry matter content, the effect on vitality was assessed through chlorophyll fluorescence and the NDVI index. The results show positive effects of plasma activated water on the plant growth. The results further show that PAW does not adversely affect plant vitality.
