ABSTRACT
The shipment of cut flowers from Colombia and Ecuador to the United States, the biggest
importer of this product in the world, has doubled in the last 20 years. One of the
main constraints in cut roses production is the gray mold disease caused by the fungus Botrytis
cinerea, which can destroy the flowers, in the crop, during storage and/or shipping.
Since the resistance of the fungus to conventional fungicides has been increasing, as well
as the health effects in rose growers, alternative approaches for controlling the disease are
needed. The effect of UV-C light on the gray mold development in cut roses was studied.
Irradiation with 2,160; 1,080 and 540 J ⋅ m–2 UV-C, every 24 h for 5 days in a humid chamber,
did not harm the roses. Instead, as seen by image analysis, a highly significant reduction
of the area of the lesions by the disease and of the fungus germination was obtained
at 1,080 J ⋅ m–2. The addition of a 4-h dark period to the irradiation did not improve the
effect of UV-C on the disease. The results of this work potentiate the use of UV-C light in
the agro-industry as a low-cost and non-invasive alternative method to control diseases.
They also reflect the application of optical approaches as image analysis in the evaluation
of important agricultural features.
