Treating white leaf disease in sugarcane cuttings using solution plasma
Sugarcane, an important agricultural crop, is susceptible to white leaf disease, which can severely damage the crop and income. The disease is caused by phytoplasma, a prokaryote in the class mollicutes. This study investigated the efficacy of treating the disease by sterilization with solution plas...

The most effective treatments, in terms of balancing plant growth and disease reduction, were the wire-to-wire system, with infected specimens immersed during discharge for 2 min with discharge repeated every 2 min, for 120 min (Exp 13); and the plasma jet system, with infected specimens immersed during discharge for 30 min and then continuously immersed for 180 min (Exp 18).
