ResumoPreharvest sources of microbial contamination of satsuma mandarin fruit (cv. Miyagawa Wase and Matsuyama Wase) during fruit development were assessed in three orchards (Gobo, Kokawa, and Shimotsu region) at Wakayama prefecture, Japan. There were differences in altitude, soil type, water source, and frequency of fertilization and pesticide applications among the three orchards. Samples of fruit and field attributes, which included organic/chemical fertilizer, agricultural water, pesticide solution, soil, weeds, and cloth sheet used as mulch, were collected at different months of the year and analyzed for microbial population.[...]
