1^st Workshop on Plasma Applications for Smart and Sustainable Agriculture, under COST Action CA 19110 - PlAgri

 

The workshop will present the state-of-the-art in the field of plasma agriculture, revealing different aspects of applications for the treatment of seeds, plants, wastewater, manure, food, and for the production of plasma activated water. The participants will be acquainted to the opportunities for developing plasma processes and technologies in various fields related to agriculture.
