The objective is to determine whether plasma treatments, particularly those using cold atmospheric plasma, can improve the health and quality of crops by improving seedling emergence, vigour, disease control, as well as biochemical reactivity. If successful, this would lead to healthier crops whilst reducing the chemical burden on the environment. Manipulating the properties of seeds with a non-invasive, physical process could have far-reaching effects on crop production. More vigorous seedlings, able to withstand biotic and abiotic stresses such as disease, pests and drought, could reduce risk in crop production and result in increased productivity and resilience.

目的是确定等离子体处理，特别是使用冷大气等离子体的处理，是否可以通过改善出苗、活力、疾病控制以及生物化学反应性来改善作物的健康和质量。如果成功，这将导致更健康的作物，同时减少对环境的化学负担。通过非侵入性的物理过程操纵种子的特性可能对作物生产产生深远的影响。更有活力的幼苗能够承受疾病、虫害和干旱等生物和非生物压力，可以减少作物生产的风险，提高生产力和复原力。
