Leafy vegetables
The greatest risks of microbial contamination of leafy vegetables exist pre-harvest, and irrigation water is one of the main vectors. To understand the global knowledge base around these risks, the University of Tasmania undertook a literature review into pre-harvest sanitation of leafy vegetables as part of a levy funded project.
AUSVEG’s Tom Bicknell spoke with project leaders Adjunct Professor Tom Ross and Senior Research Fellow Dr Alieta Eyles of the University of Tasmania about their findings and where it pointed to for future research.
