N2 - Due to an upcoming rise on planet's population, one of the challenges of agriculture in 21st century is to produce more food using more efficient and sustainable methods without involving the use of chemicals, which are often harmful to the environment and living beings. Low-Temperature Plasma (LTP) presowing treatment brings a possible solution to this challenge. Although the parameters for obtaining the best results with the treatment varies from one species to another, only few species have been studied. The aim of this paper is to present a contrast between untreated and LTP treated seeds of Coriandrum sativum, Lycopersicon lycopersicum, Phaseolus vulgaris and Raphanus sativus L at four different exposure times.
