Ultraviolet system means lights out for strawberry pathogen, new research shows

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.

Lincolnshire to lead the way on agricultural robotics

Insider event has heard. The Lincoln Agri-Robotics centre at the University of Lincoln, opened in 2019, is the largest facility of its kind in Europe, and is now on track to become the global leader. Speaking at Insider’s Food Production in the Digital Age online forum, which was sponsored by Lincolnshire County Council and Team Lincolnshire, Martin Collison, agri-tech specialist at Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), said: It s growing at pace because of business demand and because the government has invested in it. There’s huge potential in robotics in the years ahead. The growth of the centre highlights Lincolnshire’s key role in the agritech sector, which is attracting major investment.
