Electric Discharge-Generating Devices Developed for Pathogen, Insect Pest, and Weed Management: Current Status and Future Directions by Shin-ichi Kusakari, Hideyoshi Toyoda

“…The utilization of corona and arc discharges plays a crucial role in these techniques, with the corona-discharging stage creating (1) negative ions to stick to pests, which can then be captured with a positively charged pole, (2) ozone gas to sterilize plant hydroponic solutions, and (3) plasma streams to exterminate fungal colonies on leaves, and the arc-discharging stage projecting electric sparks to zap and kill pests. These electric discharge phenomena have been harnessed to develop reliable devices capable of managing pests across diverse classes. …”
