Safe alternative to hot water disinfection

When producing baby leaf crops, bacterial leaf spot infestations can result in a complete crop loss. Harvesting clean, organic, pathogen-free seed is a challenge for seed producers and growers. Short of discarding the seed or accepting a decline in harvest quality, seed producers have few viable options to recover their seed until now.
