Impact of Plasma-Activated Water (PAW) on Seed Germination of Soybean

Table 3

Estimation of final germination percentage, relativized percentage, mean germination time, and mean germination rate of soybean seeds irrigated using control and plasma-activated water.

Water	Final germination percentage (%)	Relativized percentage (%)	Mean germination time (MGT) (day)	Mean germination rate (MGR) (day)^−1
Control	83.33 ± 6.14^b	80 ± 7.33^a	15.38 ± 0.22^a	0.0650 ± 0.0008^a
PAW	93.33 ± 4.66^a	96.67 ± 3.33^b	15.04 ± 0.17^a	0.0660 ± 0.0007^a

All the experiments were performed with five repetitions, and the findings were expressed as mean ± standard error (SE). The significant difference in the mean of the germination parameters was analyzed by an independent sample t-test followed by a two-tailed analysis. Different letters in the same column indicate the significant difference in mean values at .
