Use of Ultraviolet Light to Suppress Powdery Mildew in Strawberry Fruit Production Fields
See t.ly/Llfm We designed and deployed an apparatus to apply UV light for suppression of powdery mildew in open field production of strawberry. The unit was evaluated in a commercial production field for one season, and for two additional seasons in open field research plots at the University of Florida Gulf Coast Research and Education Center.

The lamp arrays were suspended…
