The effect of apple orchard management on epiphytic, microbial populations on apple leaves and fruit was investigated during the 2001/2002 and 2002/2003 growing seasons. Leaves and fruit were collected from certifi ed organic (Bio-Gro) and IFP (Integrated Fruit Production) managed apple orchards in spring and autumn from four New Zealand sites (Hawke s Bay, Nelson, Canterbury and/or Central Otago) for cvs Braeburn and Fuji. Micro-organisms were recovered by washing in phosphate buffer using a stomacher blender. Culturable epiphytes were enumerated using serial plate dilutions. Micro-organisms were also separated into recognisable taxonomic units (RTUs) based on colony morphology. Data were analysed for abundance, dominance, richness, evenness and general diversity for all micro-organisms, as well as grouped into bacteria, yeasts and other fungi. For all analyses across microbial population groups, regions, seasons, years, tissue types and cultivars the general trend observed was that microbial population groups on leaves and fruit of Bio-Gro orchards harboured more micro-organisms and a higher species richness than IFP orchards.
