Seed disinfestation practices to control seed-borne fungi and bacteria in home production of sprouts

Abstract

Data used in a series of experiments on the study of the abundance of fungal and bacterial contaminants on seeds used for home production of sprouts for human consumption, and the comparison of a series of physical and chemical approaches to decontaminating seeds to reduce microbial loads on the sprouts.

Provides raw data files associated with Figures 1-6, and Tables 3 and A1 for the manuscript:
