Enhancement of germination potential in lemon basil (Ocimum africanum Lour.) seeds using radiofrequency cold plasma treatment with oxygen, argon, and their combination.

Results Analysis of variance (ANOVA) for oxygen gas (O 2 ), argon gas (Ar) and its combination (Ar + O 2 ) gas coupled with RF-CP treatments on germination percentage in treated seeds Analysis of variance revealed variation due to all treatment and pressure for germination percentage were recorded highly significant for O 2 gas, Ar gas and Ar + O 2 gas combination while power showed highly significant for Ar gas and significant for O 2 gas, and Ar + O 2 gas combination (Table 1).
