Heat treatment for mosaic virus

Hi Shelly, yes I think experimenting with onions will be a great start & when I get it right I'm going to treat some beautiful large white hippeastrums that I bought & are heavily infected with virus.. They are perfect test subjects & I would like to keep them healthy until they give me seeds.

We used to fill onion bags and put them in a hot water treatment tank designed for banana suckers, then leave them to dry for a week or so before replanting as a method of keeping the stock clean.

recover. The reason is evident: to reach 46 C at the core the outer
portion must be almost boiled.
The laws of thermodynamics beg to differ. If your bulbs are exposed to a
constant 46C for long enough (above there is mention of 2 hours) the
temperature at the centre will be the same as outside.
