Objective
The objective of this study is to determine if the practice of 'side-dressing' (adding organic fertilizers to soils during a cropping cycle) can affect the survival of foodborne bacterial pathogens like E. coli O157:H7 in soils, and also affect the transfer of these pathogens from soils to Romaine lettuce plants.
