5. Cold plasma treatment
Although not used widely, this developing method has shown some great results in seed treatment. It consists of exposing seeds to UV radiation and radicals and some chemically active molecules that change and enhance some seed properties. It is especially good for improving seed germination which is why it is well suitable for winter wheat seeds. Researches in treatment of soybean have shown good results in germination, growth, water uptake and high sugar and protein percentage which bring to healthier and richer yields.
