Assessing the Efficacy of UV-C Light for the Inactivation of Phytopythium and Phytophthora Species in Water: A Mathematical Modeling Approach Using an Ultraviolet Light-Emitting-Diode System

The use of untreated, recirculated irrigation water is a profitable practice, but it can harbor plant pathogens such as Phytophthora (Pt) cinnamomi, Pt. nicotianae, Phytopythium (Pp) vexans, and Pp. helicoides, posing disease risks in crop production. UV-C (240 to 290 nm) light-emitting diode (LED)...
