This paper investigates the effects of an inductively coupled, radio frequency oxygen plasma on the plant emergence and crop yield of wheat in field growth conditions. Wheat seeds of eight different cultivars were plasma-treated using conditions selected based on preliminary experiments. Additionally, a control sample, as well as seeds treated with fungicide, an eco-layer, or a plasma + eco-layer combination, were planted in parallel. Four cultivars per harvest year were used. Plant emergence (plants/m) and yield (kg/ha) were followed. There was little variation among the control and the various treatments regarding plant emergence. Regarding yield, there were statistically significant differences, but no discernible trend was seen when comparing the individual treatments. In the case of several cultivars, plasma-treated seeds performed as well as the control, but there was a significant increase in yield only in the case of cultivar 88.5 R. In several cases, yield of plants for plasma-treated seeds was also lower than the control. Our results demonstrate that the response of wheat yield to plasma treatment, as well as to other seed treatments, differs depending on the wheat cultivar.
本文研究了电感耦合射频氧等离子体对田间生长条件下小麦的出苗率和作物产量的影响。基于初步实验选择的条件，对八个不同品种的小麦种子进行了等离子体处理。此外，还同时种植了对照样本以及用杀菌剂、生态层或等离子体+生态层组合处理的种子。每个收获年份使用四个品种。跟踪记录了出苗率（株/米）和产量（千克/公顷）。对照和各种处理之间在出苗率方面几乎没有差异。在产量方面，存在统计学上的显著差异，但比较各个处理时未发现明显趋势。对于几个品种，经等离子体处理的种子表现与对照一样好，但仅在88.5 R品种的情况下产量有显著增加。在几种情况下，经等离子体处理的种子所种植的植株产量也低于对照。我们的结果表明，小麦产量对等离子体处理以及其他种子处理的反应因小麦品种而异。
