Different reaction of cultivars poppy seeds after nonthermal plasma treatment

The influence of low-temperature atmospheric plasma treatment generated between the electrodes (GlidArc) on poppy seed growth was tested. Treatment times were 0 s, 180 s, 300 s, and 600 s. Working gas was air. We monitored germination and initial growth of two cultivars of poppy seeds (Papaver somniferum L., cultivars Major and Orfeus). The values of control measurements (exposure time 0 s) of the tested cultivars were different. Therefore we analysed both cultivars separately with adequate control during the data procesing. A positive influence was found mainly in the lengths of sprouts in cultivar Major (22 %, time 180 s). The number of germinated seeds was not affected by plasma treatment in both cultivars.
