Table 4. qPCR relative abundance results.

Total bacterial abundance in the phyllosphere under conventional and ecological management during dry and wet weather. Number of DNA copies per nanogram of DNA.

Agricultural management	Mean abundance	±SD	Mean abundance	±SD
	Dry weather		Wet weather
CO	4.79	0.88	2.76	0,48
EC	13.39*	5.63	1.95**	0,50

Notes:

^*Significant difference when comparing between managements during dry weather (p < 0.05).

^**Significant difference when comparing EC along a time period (p < 0.05).
