Abstract

Microbial organisms are key pathogens for plants, animals, and humans. The elimination of pathogenic microbes is an essential topic for researchers. Non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) can potentially inactivate pathogenic microorganisms. This paper draws the results of the biocidal effect study in pre-treatment of barley seeds by NTAP. The effect was observed in 7-day-old seedlings. The results of reducing the total microbial number (by 36.7% after 5 minutes of exposure) were obtained. Thus, treatment with non-thermal plasma can reduce the microbiological contamination of agricultural plant seeds.
