Various exposition times of cold plasma treatment were used. Variable of ratio cumulative germination was calculated. The Richards’ equation was used for curve-fitting and simulation of growth curves. Population parameters (Vi – viability, Me - time, Qu - dispersion, and Sk - skewness) counted from the curves described the germination rate well. Significant differences among Qu confirmed the erratic dormancy and gradual germination of Lamb's Quarters. No difference in Me parameter was found between two tested seed lots, so no interspecies characteristics were changed using low-pressure discharge. It has been suggested that plasma treatment changed seed germination in Lamb's Quarters seeds.
