Method for Controlling Fungal Plant Pathogens Using a Combination of UV Radiation Followed by Antagonist Application and Dark Period

Strawberries are available year-around from production in the field or from controlled environments (e.g. high and low tunnel culture and greenhouse). Diversity of production conditions results in challenges in controlling diseases before, during, and after harvest. Fungicides, traditionally used to control diseases, have limitations.
