Improve Seed Vigor & Yield Using Low Temp RF Plasma
•Achieve greater crop yields while using the same amount of precious irrigation water
•Improve seed yield on the same amount of acreage
•Improve vigor & achieve faster growth from your seeds
•Improve stress tolerance of your seeds
Gentle, Low Power Cold RF (radio frequency) Plasma
A gentle, 1 to 2 minute treatment with Ceres-Wave’s low power cold RF (radio frequency) plasma that uses only air will:
Change Seed Coat Structure
Plasma treatment changes the physical and chemical structure of the seed coat, primary of which is to make it more permeable and hydrophilic (receptive to water). This allows nutrients to more easily reach the seed during germination.
Activate Plant Vitality
Plasma treatment activates physiological functions in the seed, such as the production of enzymes and hormones.
Inactivate Pathogens
Plasma treatment can kill bacteria and fungi that may be present on the seed surface.
No Chemicals! No Alteration of genetic material! Purely Organic!
We can process high volumes in the unit pictured to the left or we can provide custom service for high value or special seeds.
Custom & High Value Seed Processing Unit
Here are some results for our plasma on various seed types
Tomato Seed Study In Nape AZ
Tomato seeds on left were treated with plasma; tomatoes on the right are untreated. The plasma treated seeds produced significantly more fruits, larger fruit and earlier maturation.
Yield Report for Tomato Seeds
Three plasma treated samples were compared to the control and showed dramatically higher yield than the control seed.
Wheat Seed Study Corcoran CA
Wheat seeds for the plant on the left were UNTREATED. The plants on the right were from seeds treated with plasma.
Yield Report for Wheat
This experiment showed 45% increase in yield for the plasma treated seed!
Sorghum Seed Study by University of Florida
Sorghum study showed a 4% increase in germination.
Sorghum Seed Study Results
This test resulted in a 20% improvement on grain yield.
Alfalfa Seed Study by Case Western Reserve University
Alfalfa Trials at CWR showed:
• Soft seed failure reduced up to 10%
•Seeds performed with up to 25% more vigor after 4 months
Alfalfa Seed Study Results
Plasma processing of these seeds resulted in 40% more biomass per unit area after four months of growth.
Corn Seed (Jubilee) Study in AZ
Cobs on left were from UNTREATED seeds; cobs on the right are TREATED. The plasma treated seeds produced significantly larger cobs and earlier maturation.
Corn Seed Study Results
Grain yield was determined by hand harvest of 25 ft. of the center two rows of each plot. The plasma treated seeds significantly outperformed the control.
