In general, hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas, the most abundant element of more than 75% of the mass of the universe, and is known to be the most abundant element in the human body composition. The efficacy of hydrogen has not been noticed for a long time, but in 2007, scientists at the Japanese Medical University came to the attention when they published a paper on the medical protective effects of hydrogen in natural medicine.

Since then, numerous medical and biological effects of hydrogen have been published by numerous researchers around the world. Recent studies on the plant effects of hydrogen show that hydrogen is involved in the signaling pathways of plant hormones and can improve the plant's resistance to stressors such as drought, salinity, cold and heavy metals.

In addition, the use of hydrogen water improves the crop's resistance to diseases and pests so that it can replace pesticides or reduce the use of pesticides. In addition, research has shown that hydrogen can improve the seed germination rate of plants and control the flowering time of plants.
