The effect of treatment of low temperature atmospheric plasma generated between the electrodes (plasma type: GlidArc, time of exposition: 180 s) on the seeds germination, crop parameters and yield components of poppy seed (Papaver somniferum L., cultivars Major and Orfeus) was observed. Increased germination was observed in 3 of the 4 treated seed samples in comparison with the control sample. The number of growing plants was negatively influenced as well as yield. Cultivar Orpheus responded more sensitively to the plasma treatment than cultivar Major. A higher number of capsules harvested per plant was founded in 3 of the 4 field variants.
