Descripción
In this study, plasma-activated water (PAW) was generated using a large-volume (5 L) plasma reactor with a quasi-stationary, water-cathode glow-type discharge in atmospheric pressure air. Tap water was activated up to 75 min. PAW exhibited high concentrations of long-lived reactive nitrogen species (RNSs), reaching 8 mM, which is between 4 and 26 times higher than those reported in previous studies. The reactor reached an RNS synthesis efficiency of 61 nmol/J and an RNS production rate of 526 μmol/min, both among the highest reported. PAW was evaluated on tomato and bell pepper. Seedling emergence was determined in a nutrient-free substrate. To assess plant growth, seedlings were transplanted into pots filled with either nitrogen-free or nutrient-rich substrate. PAW-irrigation significantly promoted seedling emergence and leaf expansion, especially in tomato plants. The plant growth-stimulating effects of PAW were more pronounced in nitrogen-free substrate: fresh weight of tomato and bell pepper increased up to 13.1-fold and 2.6-fold, respectively. In contrast, the effect on the nutrient-rich substrate was negligible. Tomato plants grown in the nitrogen-free substrate and irrigated with 75-min PAW reached a dry weight comparable to those grown in nutrient-rich substrate. PAW irrigation did not induce oxidative stress, as confirmed by malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and antioxidant enzyme activity.
