Abstract:
The project aims to create a multidisciplinary research team (RO-MD) dedicated to integrating innovative green technologies for greenhouse sustainable farming. By combining Plasma-Activated Water (PAW) with PV/PVT systems with integrated light (solar radiation) dispersion system, the project intends to enhance biomass production and promote eco-friendly practices in greenhouse farming while reduces dependency on unsustainable energy sources. By using PAW irrigation powered by PV will enhance crop growth while ensuring even solar radiation distribution. The proposed solution facilitates the distribution of solar radiation to the soil while simultaneously generating energy. By integrating PAW application, the project aims to minimize environmental impact. To assess PV performance, IC-MPPT and LCPV algorithms will be applied. IoT- sensor network will collect data for cloud-based data analytics. PAR sensors will ensure optimal photosynthetic conditions for plants. This collaboration aims to integrate TUIASI team's expertise in renewable energy and NTP technology with the UTM team's focus on PV/PVT systems, irrigation, and microclimate control for sustainable farming. Young researchers will gain valuable experience in advanced technologies, interdisciplinary collaboration, and opportunities for publication and networking, enhancing their technical and research skills. Planned research visits for UTM researchers will provide access to TUIASI specialized facilities.

Abstract:
The project aims to explore the use of non-thermal plasma technologies to improve the performance and sustainability of agricultural crops in indoor farming, greenhouses or plant factories. The use of non-thermal plasma activated water, which can be generated using energy from photovoltaic panels, offers the potential to implement more efficient farming practices in indoor farming, maximizing resource use and minimizing environmental impact. Non-thermal plasma-activated water will be used to irrigate seeds/plants, before or after germination, representing an environmentally friendly and non-stressful plant treatment alternative that can bring benefits to plants, including disease and pest control, growth and development stimulation and improved plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Plant phenotyping, using 3D imaging techniques, will provide essential crop information that will allow the determination of plant characteristics. Growth aspects of plants treated with non-thermal plasma activated water will be monitored. The results will provide a detailed insight into the application of non-thermal plasma-activated water on plants in different growing stages. The purpose of this project is to find a protocol for the application of plasma-activated water on plants in a controlled environment.
