Description

METHOD TO REMOVE MICROORGANISMS ON PLANT MATERIAL DESCRIPTION Field of technique.
The present ion concerns a method that can effectively eliminate the microbial load of the bacterial cells of Pseudomonar yrmgae pv. m‘tz'm'dz'ae (Psa), causative agent of bacterial canker of actinidia, an extremely virulent bacterium which attacks all s and ies of Actinidia.
The methodology described is applicable to different plants of the Genus Acz‘z'm'dz'a to prevent the serious consequences of the presence and spread of the bacterium; specifically the method is applied to actinidia pollen potentially infected by Psa.
State of technique.
The state of current techniques adopted to defend against Pseudomonas syringae pv. diae (Psa) involves the use of different gies that are applied individually and/or in combination: a) provide proper nourishment and stimulate the endogenous defences of Actinidia plants istration of amino acids, potassium humates, phosphorous acid, sulphuric acid (Mazzaglia et al.,, 2011); b) the use of copper salts to protect the ent phenological phases of the actinidia (Fratarcangeli et al.,, 2010; Quattrucci et al.,, 2010); c) t ion by the causal agent of bacterial canker of actinidia by means of a natural antagonist (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, strain D747), the only crop protection product to date that has been registered in the European Community to combat Psa, which can colonize and protect the organs of actinidia plants against this bacterium (ht wwwintrachemit homecmelan =it&section=3&news=15).
It is therefore the aim of this invention to identify a methodology that can be d to plants of the genus Actinidia to eliminate the microbial load of the bacterial cells of Psa, through the use of ozone, combined bactericidal activity and, subsequently, ature References: AMZZAGLIA A, RENZI M, TARATUFOLO M.

Summary of the invention In one aspect of the present invention there is provided a method for eliminating the microbial load of the bacterial cells of 13500070772000; iyn'ngae pv. actz'm'dz'ae (PSA), said method involving an antibacterial ent z'izz'dz'a spp pollen in two successive phases: in the first, a plant sample is subjected to heating; in the second, the same sample is subjected to ozone.
Detailed description of the invention — procedure used for a sample of dia pollen ially infected by PSA.
A detailed description now follows to illustrate the characteristics and advantages of this invention: the methodology involving the elimination of the microbial load of the bacterial cells of Prettdomami yn'ngae pv. acz‘mz'dz'ae (Psa), the causative agent of bacterial canker of actinidia, is applied to a plant of the genus Actinidia, specifically to a sample of pollen potentially infected by Psa, which is given just by way of example for all the many ent fields of application of the invention.
The process involves two .
Phase 1: is a non~chemical process in which Actinidia pollen is subjected to a specific ° C) for temperature (42 a given period of time (30 minutes), during which time air is blown onto the said sample. The fact that it is subjected to a specific temperature and for a defined period of time means that an antimicrobial action is d on the d sample of Actinidia pollen.
Phase 2: having already been subjected to phase 1, and with air continuing to be blown on it, the sample is treated with an odourless and colourless substance (ozone). A specific concentration of ozone is used (0.05 ppm) for a given period of time (4 hours), and in specific environmental conditions: temperature of 5°C and a relative air humidity of no more than 35%.
If used separately on the same plant sample, the antimicrobial effect of both phases (1 and 2) is reduced.
The above methodology, in which the two phases (Phase 1 and Phase 2) are applied in succession, increases the bactericidal action of temperature and ozone, taking due account of other parameters (duration of treatment, temperature and 0/0 RH in the presence of ozone), which are essential ingredients for the success of the ure.
As regards the ent of pollen samples, an ad hoc system could be developed, for example, to treat lots of refrigerated young dia vines before they are planted in the open field.
Brief description of Figure 1 Figure 1: The figure shows the application of the method that is the object of this invention.
In the prototype, a sample of Actinidia pollen, potentially infected by PSA, is placed inside a container equipped with an ozone generator (Reference 1), cooler (Reference 2), fan (Reference 3), radiator (Reference 4), cold temperature probe (Reference 5), hot temperature probe (Reference 6), protection flaps (Reference 7) to stop the pollen sticking to the protruding parts inside the container, opening for taking measurements with test tubes (Reference 8 ), tray to insert the pollen and collect it after it has been d (Reference 9) In the first phase of the procedure, air is blown inside the container onto the Actinidia pollen, which is subjected to a ature of 42°C for 30 s. In phase 2, the pollen is treated with ozone (03), at a specific concentration (0.05 ppm), for 4 hours, at a temperature of 5°C and maximum relative humidity of 35%.
