Schematic of the factors (plant, environmental and management) shaping the crop microbiome, the risk factors impacting the introduction and establishment of foodborne pathogen hazards, and the potential interventions (over-and-above existing quality assurance and risk management schemes) for the reduction of risk.

Fig. 2. Schematic of the physio-chemical perturbations caused by canopy irrigation and the complexity of their potential impacts on the microbial community.
Perturbations include resource availability and abiotic conditions. The potential impact on microbial community composition and function includes dynamics involving immigration, invasion, emigration, diversification and internalization. Invasion represents the potential success of alien organisms, such as human pathogens, in invading the microbial phyllosphere community. Gaps in knowledge and aspects where a better understanding of the biological relevance are needed are highlighted. EC electrical conductivity.
