Validation and optimization of a multi-processor UV-C reactor for inactivation of potato brown rot and soft rot pathogens in surface irrigation water in the Nile Delta

Abstract Bacterial wilt and soft rot, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum and Pectobacterium carotovorum , are major threats to potato production and export. Surface irrigation water (SIW) can transmit these pathogens. This study validated and optimized a multi-processor UV-C (MP UV...
