Table 1.

Changes in the average sprout weight and length after 4 days of soybean sprout cultivation depending on the type of irrigation water.

Cultivating water	Tap water	Plasma-discharged water	Tap water + cPTIO	Plasma-discharged water + cPTIO
Parameters	Tap water	Plasma-discharged water	Tap water + cPTIO	Plasma-discharged water + cPTIO
(Units: g)
Weight (g)	48.2 ± 1.1^b	53.5 ± 1.5^a	32.8 ± 0.8^c	30.3 ± 1.0^c
Hypocotyl length (cm)	5.2 ± 0.3^b	6.3 ± 0.5^a	3.1 ± 0.3^c	2.6 ± 0.6^d
Radicle length (cm)	5.5 ± 0.6^a	5.8 ± 0.9^a	4.3 ± 0.4^b	4.0 ± 0.8^b

Average and standard deviations with different letters (a, b, c, d) in the same line were significantly different based on Duncan’s multiple range tests (p < 0.05).
