Timelapse of spinach conducted in the lab with our plant scientists.Image taken after the timelapse. Untreated (on the left), with ActivatedAir™-treated (on the right).
Using one of our lab incubators and a camera set-up, we captured the difference in emergence between ActivatedAir™ treated spinach and untreated. Over a couple of weeks, we were able to document the kind of results Zayndu and ActivatedAir™ users have been witnessing
Quicker Germination
The timelapse demonstrates the kind of results we see in terms of faster and more even germination.
ActivatedAir™ cold-plasma seed priming technology removes the outer waxy layer of the seed. In doing this, we are increasing the seed’s permeability, which results in more water being absorbed. Whilst not all seeds have that waxy layer to remove, our technology still targets the seed coat to increase permeability.
Without using any artificial chemicals and done through an entirely dry process, seeds are given a head start to their growing cycle.
What can a quicker germination mean?
More Emergence
As seen in the timelapse, seeds treated with ActivatedAir™ display more crops emerging through the soil. This is one of the many benefits that arise when the seeds are treated with ActivatedAir™.
ActivatedAir™ doesn’t require you to roll the dice on a fuller, healthier crop.
What can more emergence mean?
More Synchronised
Exposure to ActivatedAir™ creates an enhanced permeability of the seed, which gives them the boost they need to break dormancy. With the seeds being treated at the same time, they all get the same wake-up call, and they begin germinating. This is evident in the timelapse as the seedlings emerge simultaneously.
No need to set the timer; ActivatedAir™ is the technology to augment nature’s alarm.
What can better synchronisation mean?
Conclusion
The timelapse shows that ActivatedAir™ seed priming significantly enhances seed germination, offering a more guaranteed emergence and synchronised crop. Through the wonders of Zayndu’s technology, seeds are more equipped to absorb water more efficiently, leading to faster crop development and healthier plants.
