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

Table 4

Estimation of coefficient of variation of germination time, coefficient of velocity of germination, germination index, mean daily germination percentage, and germination value of soybean seeds irrigated using control and plasma-activated water.

Water	Coefficient of variation of germination time (CVt) (%)	Coefficient of velocity of germination (CVG) (%)	Germination index (GI) (day)	Mean daily germination percent (MDG) (%)	Germination value (G value)
Control	8.37 ± 1.43^a	6.5 ± 0.09^a	0.26 ± 0.02^b	4.21 ± 0.38^b	20.73 ± 3.8^b
PAW	5.94 ± 0.82^b	6.6 ± 0.08^a	0.32 ± 0.01^a	5.08 ± 0.17^a	30.96 ± 2.05^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 .
