PROMOTION OF GROWTH, ENZYMATIC ACTIVITIES AND FOOD VALUE OF SPINACH (Spinacia oleracea L.) BY COMBINED LPGAD PLASMA SEED TREATMENT AND PLASMA ACTIVATED WATER

By: Mamunur Rashid, Shahidul Alam, Mamunur Rashid Talukder

Key Words: Spinacea oleracea, plasma technology, plasma activated water, antioxidant enzymes, total soluble protein

JLES-Vol-17-No-P-33-46, December 2022.

Abstract

Demand of fresh leafy vegetables is increasing worldwide. Therefore, new technological approach can be considered to address the problems concerned with enhanced production along with disease- and pesticide-free edible fresh vegetables. Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L. Indian hybrid 50) seeds were treated with low pressure glow air discharge (LPGAD) plasma for different treatment durations in order to determine the maximum seed germination rate. Seedlings were grown from 1 min treated seeds which showed maximum germination. Distilled water was treated for 5, 10, and 15 min for the preparation of plasma activated water (PAW). PAWs were sprayed to the seedlings in order to study their collective consequences on growth parameters, enzymatic activities, and total soluble protein and sugar. The experiment was carried out in a controlled growth chamber. The results revealed that shoot length, stem diameter, fresh weight, number of leaves per plant, and leaf area index were enhanced due to collective treatments by ~53%, ~82%, ~42%, ~50% and ~71% respectively, where 15 min treated PAW was used as compared to control. Concentrations of antioxidant enzymes along with total soluble protein and sugar were also studied for understanding the underlying consequences of plasma treated seed and foliar applications of PAWs to spinach seedlings.
