Abstract: Here, we introduce the potential of plasma technology for future lunar agriculture. The use of discharge plasma to convert nitrogen, oxygen, and water into reactive species for nitrogen fixation is discussed. This study demonstrated the effectiveness of dinitrogen pentoxide as a nitrogen fertilizer for rice cultivation in lunar regolith simulants. This technology also shows promise in regulating plant growth and enhancing plant immunity, addressing the challenges of lunar agriculture.
