Ultraviolet system means ‘lights out’ for strawberry pathogen, new research shows By Brad Buck © Photo courtesy, Tyler Jones, UF/IFAS photography.” Ultraviolet lights suppress powdery mildew, zapping the pathogen in strawberries. University of Florida scientists also are testing it on grapes, cucumbers and hops. When the light goes on, it’s lights out for a ruinous strawberry pathogen. Just imagine this: Pulling an ultraviolet lamp behind a tractor out into your farm in the middle of the night, pointing the ultraviolet light at the strawberries and zapping powdery mildew right out of the leaves and fruit. That’s the idea behind new research led by University of Florida s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences plant pathology Professor Natalia Peres. A new study she led shows that UV light kills powdery mildew, a disease that can significantly damage strawberries.
