| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Allelochemicals are organic compounds exuded from the roots of plants, which have autotoxic effects on plant growth. In this study, the decomposition of 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid, an allelochemical of cucumber, by plasma generated in an air bubble in solution is examined, and the influence of plasma treatment of the solution on cucumber growth in a hydroponics system is investigated. The concentration of DCBA decreases. Consequently, most DCBA has decomposed after 24 hours’ treatment. The discharge-treated solution is used as a nutrient solution for cultivating cucumber plants in a rockwool hydroponic system. The results show that the growth of most plants is inhibited by adding DCBA, as well as by the decrease in pH during discharge treatment; in contrast, plants subjected to discharge treatment with pH adjustment grow healthily.
