Multi-method <i>in vitro</i> assessment of ultraviolet-C treatment against conidia and hyphal fragments of <i>Botrytis cinerea</i>
This study systematically compared UV-C effects on conidia and HF using a multi-method in vitro approach, underscoring the utility of UV-C for fungal control and providing critical insights for designing effective, context-aware antifungal strategies. The results have practical implications for improving postharvest sanitation protocols and minimizing produce spoilage in storage and packing environments.
