The goal of this study is to explore how water treated using plasma affects the germination and growth of soybean and wheat seedlings.Deionized water (DIW) was exposed to a gliding arc discharge (GAD) for 5 and 10 min to create plasma-activated water.DIW revealed significant changes in physical properties as well as chemical parameters after its treatment with plasma.The germination rate (growth metrics, such as shoot/seedling length, imbibition rate of seeds, and vigor indices), increased when plasma-treated water was used for irrigation purposes.In conclusion, when plasma-treated water is used for irrigation, a better result yield in germination is acquired.
