Abstract

: Foliar spray of plasma activated water (PAW) was applied to the paddy plants as a replacement of urea. Growth, nutritional attributes and yield parameters of paddy were investigated. The plant’s height, stem diameter, and concentrations of chlorophyll and carotene were found to increase with the enhanced application of PAWs with reduction of urea. The activity of the antioxidant enzymes, as responsible to protect cell damage caused by free radicals, were improved due to the applications of PAWs. The highest concentrations of Total Soluble Sugar (TSS) and Total Soluble Protein (TSP) were found in the plants where 13 g. m−2 urea and 4 times of PAWs were used. The yield of rice also increased by 20.83% where 13 g. m−2 urea and 4 times of PAWs were used with respect to control. The results obtained from the research indicate that urea could be supplemented by PAW.
