Plasmas can be applied well to the agriculture owing to various chemical and physical properties.In the other words,by using characteristics of plasmas based on the chemical and physical properties,for instance,we can activate seed germinations,sterilize harmful microorganisms,and make catalytic dissociations of gaseous molecules.For the role of the plasma technology in the agricultural innovation,we can draw an analogy from the plasma role of the semiconductor industry: In case of the semiconductor industry,the first technical innovation was caused by invention of the transistor and integrated circuit (IC) based on chemical wet processes,and the second technical innovation with the very large scale integrated circuit (VLSI) has been realized by adopting plasma processes.On the other hand,the traditional agriculture was innovatively replaced by the chemical agriculture with much higher productivity owing to the invention of agricultural pesticides and chemical fertilizers just like the invention of the transistors in the semiconductor industry.
