Kalciumbesprutning ökar bladens motståndskraft mot STEC och förstärker hållbarheten för bladgrönsaker

Senast ändrad: 26 oktober 2023

The overall aim of the project is to create the conditions for production of leafy vegetables with reduced risk for contamination by human pathogens, including disease-causing strain shigatoxin producing E. coli O157: H7 (STEC). The aim of this pilot study is to investigate if calcium chloride leaf spray application can be used as a defense strategy for restricting access and spreading of microorganisms on leafy vegetables, including STEC, by modifying leaf mechanical properties, such as cell wall thickness and toughness (stiffness, rigidity).
