Objective:
Develop PRACTICAL methods that growers can use to: Track microbial water quality – manage RISK Monitor water treatment system performance Proactively manage water quality throughout the whole
production system
![Page 4: (GF2 0251 FCO-HMGA)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012812/61c384b0168be736860239ce/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Concerns for Vegetable & Herb Growers All of the above, plus Food safety in production and processing Food safety Regulations
Concerns for Greenhouse Flower Growers Plant pathogens going into production areas from fresh or
recycled water Treatment system performance

3M Petrifilms - a measure of RISK Total yeast & mold – risk of fungal pathogens Total aerobic plate count (bacterial) – general water
quality; risk of biofilm development in pipes and drippers E.coli and total coliforms (if food safety is a concern)
DNA multiscans – identifies WHAT is there
“Toolbox” of methods for microbial water quality assessment

RISK Determination
• Low counts• Consistent results• Treatment system OK• Scouting looks OK• Track changes in levels
with water sources changes (e.g. pond vs roof)
• High counts• Inconsistent results• Unusual spikes in data• Send for DNA multiscan?• Extra scouting for issues?• Check/maintain treatment equipment?• Clean tanks, including feed tanks• Check your irrigation lines
![Page 31: (GF2 0251 FCO-HMGA)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012812/61c384b0168be736860239ce/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
