Abstract: Abstract Cold Plasma System for Enhanced Seed Germination and Storage using Rotary Spark Gap arrangement. The present invention relates to a cold plasma seed treatment system (100) for enhancing seed germination, storage stability, plant growth, and crop yield. The system comprises an AC input power source (10) connected to a high-voltage transformer (12) configured to step up voltage, a rectifier and capacitor network (14) adapted to convert and stabilize high-voltage DC output, and a rotary spark gap mechanism (16) for generating controlled pulsed discharge. The pulsed high-voltage output connected to a surface and a volume discharge reactors (20) operating at atmospheric pressure. Seeds exposed within the reactors (20) undergo non-thermal plasma treatment that enhances surface porosity, wettability, microbial decontamination, and physiological activation without affecting genetic integrity. Treated seeds are collected and stored with proper technique. The system (100) provides uniform plasma exposure, low power consumption, and scalability for laboratory and industrial seed processing applications.
