Hassan MM*, Islam MA, Ahsanul karim Abu Md and Khan KA

Radio frequency (RF) induced low pressure plasma has significant impact on enhancement of the germination of seeds and growth patterns of the plants comes from irradiated seeds. For this consequence present study is performed on Basella alba seeds which is a very familiar vegetable After plasma irradiation, the results shows that the germination rate of treated seeds are more than untreated seeds. Result shows for two experiments the germination rate increase 10% and 20% respectively for plasma irradiated seeds. Also the growth patterns and sustainability rate of treated seeds are vigorous. These outcomes will be beneficial to farmer’s economy and also vegetable consumers.
