Cold plasma, a room-temperature ionized gas, offers farms residue-free seed priming and sanitization, produce disinfection, plasma-activated water, and on-site nitrate production from air. Benefits include reduced chemicals, water, and logistics; modular, renewable-ready hardware. Success depends on dose control, uniform exposure, energy efficiency, and validation, with smarter, integrated systems improving ROI.
