Pesticide use or chemical soil treatment causes problems to farmers' health and the environment such as toxic residues and the decay of natural nitrogen balance in products, soil and water. A non-thermal plasma technology becomes a novel technique to reduce pesticide and fertilizer and improve the production without chemical residues. In this work, the fundamental study on soil treatment using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma is concentrated using a sample soil from Myanmar which is one the most pesticide used in South-East Asia region. The reactive radicals produced by DBD plasma are expected to be potential alternatives to agricultural uses chemical pesticides or fertilizers. The fundamental studies on electrical characteristics and temperature variation of DBD reactor have been focused. The soil was treated with DBD plasma indirectly but with ozone directly. Thus, the UV absorbance of treated soil was measured using the UV visible spectrometer to confirm the ozone concentration in it. The effectiveness of ozone in treated soil was investigated with the changes in acidity and amounts of nitrogen nutrients comparing to the control soil. As a result, the nitrogen nutrient which is essential for plant growth and increasing in crop yields can be obtained from the soil indirectly treated by DBD plasma without chemical residues. Therefore, plasma agriculture could be a promise leading to sustainable agriculture.
