Anybody Know How To Incorporate Uvc Light Into A Disease/pest Prevention Plan?

[Dumb.ass]

During my battle with white powdery mildew I bought a
CFL15/UV/MED 120V 15W Self Ballasted Germicidal UV Bulb Lamp CFL15UVMED by Technical Precision
Also got some UVC safety glasses.
I put the bulb it in a clamp light fixture to keep the reflector between the light and me and moved it around in the leaves of one of my infected plants. Exposure was for about a minute overall and it appears I burned the hell out of the plant. Leaves are all twisted and curled. I also bought a UVC sanitizing wand but haven't tried it yet.

Anybody know how to incorporate UVC light into a disease/pest prevention plan?

Unless you can automate the process a la a greenhouse array it would prove an on going hassle.

I would be looking to optimize the environment (control), remove weak genetics and apply passive preventatives.

There are exposure recommendations if you look, but have fun converting numbers. Your best bet if you go forward with this is to expose plants incrementally, with 3-4 days rest to observe. Either from high (burn) to low or vice versa.
