Abstract:
The project aims to explore the use of non-thermal plasma technologies to improve the performance and sustainability of agricultural crops in indoor farming, greenhouses or plant factories. The use of non-thermal plasma activated water, which can be generated using energy from photovoltaic panels, offers the potential to implement more efficient farming practices in indoor farming, maximizing resource use and minimizing environmental impact. Non-thermal plasma-activated water will be used to irrigate seeds/plants, before or after germination, representing an environmentally friendly and non-stressful plant treatment alternative that can bring benefits to plants, including disease and pest control, growth and development stimulation and improved plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Plant phenotyping, using 3D imaging techniques, will provide essential crop information that will allow the determination of plant characteristics. Growth aspects of plants treated with non-thermal plasma activated water will be monitored. The results will provide a detailed insight into the application of non-thermal plasma-activated water on plants in different growing stages. The purpose of this project is to find a protocol for the application of plasma-activated water on plants in a controlled environment.
