Optimizing Fungi Reduction with UVC light
FY 2021-22 · 2021-04-01
Summary
A major challenge facing the agricultural industry, and in particular greenhouse and indoor growers, is the impact pathogens have on crop yield, both quantity and quality. Powdery mildew poses a significant threat to a number of agricultural crops.
Following the onset of COVID-19, the use of UVC as a disinfectant has taken off. A number of lighting companies have emerged to provide the market with UVC based solutions for room and instrument disinfection. The application of UVC with plants is a new approach to plant protection, only recently made possible with the discovery of night time UVC application. Our project will identify:
• The optimal UVC dosage.
• The optimal apparatus to support the application of the UVC for each crop.

Description
A major challenge facing the agricultural industry, and in particular greenhouse and indoor growers, is the impact pathogens have on crop yield, both quantity and quality. Powdery mildew poses a significant threat to a number of agricultural crops.
Following the onset of COVID-19, the use of UVC as a disinfectant has taken off.

Description (French)
Un défi majeur auquel est confronté le secteur agricole, et en particulier les producteurs en serre et en intérieur, est l'impact des agents pathogènes sur le rendement des cultures, tant en quantité qu'en qualité. L'oïdium constitue une menace importante pour un certain nombre de cultures agricoles. Après l'apparition de la COVID-19, l'utilisation des UVC comme désinfectant a pris son essor. Un certain nombre de sociétés d'éclairage ont vu le jour pour fournir au marché des solutions basées sur les UVC pour la désinfection des pièces et des instruments. L'application des UVC aux plantes constitue une nouvelle approche de la protection des plantes, qui n'a été rendue possible que récemment avec la découverte de l'application nocturne des UVC. Notre projet permettra de déterminer ce qui suit : • le dosage optimal d'UVC et • l'appareil optimal pour soutenir l'application des UVC pour chaque culture.
