説明
<jats:p>In this work, we developed a portable device with low production and operation costs for generating ambient-air glow discharge (AAGD) that is transferred to the surface of flowing liquid and demonstrated its applicability to practical use in agriculture. An experiment procedure that ensured the stable treatment of various liquids was established. Additionally, it was found that humidity did not have a significant effect on the treatment process, which makes the use of the developed device possible in various locations. It was found that an L-phenylalanine solution treated with AAGD allows simultaneous 40% hydroponic radish-sprout growth promotion with a bactericidal effect. Further, scalability and practical-application possibilities in hydroponic plant growth were discussed.</jats:p>
