Constructed wetlands was a topic earlier this week.

Here's a government manual I came across through the
The GrayLIT Network, an Internet portal to gray literature

Poking around, here's another item.  Some farmers use
hydrogen peroxide as an alternative disinfectant, fungicide,
or seed treatment.  Ultra violet light and ozone are covered
as well.
