Abstract

The scientific hypothesis is that water after treatment with spark discharge plasma undergoes activation of its chemical composition and becomes a regenerative resource of environmentally friendly irrigation water and a source of nutrients for vegetables during irrigation. An experiment was carried out on growing radishes in three beds, which were irrigated with untreated, treated tap water and treated atmospheric wastewater. Water was treated with the help of an electro-hydraulic installation at a voltage of 20 kV for 15 min. A positive effect of irrigation with tap and atmospheric waste water after treatment with spark discharges on the growth and development of plants was revealed using the example of radish, which is realized in an increase in the mass of stems and root crops of cultivated varieties. An increase in the average mass of radish from 6 to 18% was determined, depending on the variety and type of water treated with spark discharges during irrigation in comparison with irrigation with untreated water.
