Soil improvers and growing media - Detection of Salmonella spp.

Abstract

This document specifies a method for the detection of Salmonella spp. in soil improvers, soil improver blends, growing media and growing media blends. This document applies to material in solid form (including pre-shaped growing media) and liquid form. This document specifies a technique for the detection of Salmonella spp. on two solid media with different enzymatic reactions, and it specifies a technique for confirmation of Salmonella spp. when presumptive colonies are detected. NOTE: This method has been validated in an interlaboratory study with specific products that were present on the market during the study (Annex C). Products can change over time regarding their microbial composition and other characteristics, and the formulation of the products can also change in the future
