Survival of Salmonella on Biodegradable Mulch, Landscape Fabric, and Plastic Mulch

Journal of Food Protection
Ground covers are used in produce production to enhance plant growth and control diseases and pests. While various factors are considered when selecting commercial ground covers, food safety, particularly the survival of foodborne pathogens, is often overlooked. This study aimed to assess the survival of Salmonella on different ground covers, including
