Verbatim
e1“a pot experiment was realized in order to prove effects of the foliar PAW application on maize growth”
e2“The stepped PAW foliar application, carried out in 7-day intervals, led to provable decrease of chlorophyll contents in leaves compared to the distilled water application”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Plasma activated water application significantly increased root electrical capacitance in maize.
- Intervention effect Plasma activated water application had no provable effect on the weight of the aboveground biomass of maize.
- Intervention effect Plasma activated water decreased the CO2 assimilation rate and variable fluorescence of dark-adapted maize leaves.
- Intervention effect Plasma activated water did not influence the quantum yield of photosystem II electron transport in maize.
- Intervention effect Plasma activated water treatment increased the amount of nitrogen in the dry matter of maize plants.
- Intervention effect Plasma activated water treatment did not affect the contents of other macro- and micro-nutrients in the aboveground biomass of maize.
- Recommendation The authors recommend further utilization of plasma activated water, especially in combination with liquid fertilizers, for maize growth optimization.
