Modeling design and application of low-temperature plasma treatment test stand for seeds before sowing

Abstract

Stimulation with a low-temperature plasma (LTP) can improve the seed germination and seed adaptability to the environment. This technology has been applied in practice, but the study level of mechanism involved is still limited. Moreover, the treatment devices in using are quite simple. The paper focuses on the modeling design and application of the LTP treatment test stand for seeds before sowing. Numerous experimental LTP treatment on crop seeds and forage grass seeds will be conducted to find out the optimal dose used in the treatment. Another advanced method of this modeling is data collecting and intelligent monitoring system designed in, therefore all key process parameters can be under control during treatment period. At the same time, the modeling design will provide technical support for large-scale manufacturing of seed treatment devices.
