Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae, the cause of Fusarium wilt of lettuce, can survive on crop residue in soil. Persistence of the pathogen over time will be influenced by the rate at which residue decomposes. We evaluated the effect of drying and fragmenting crop residue on the rate of decomposition and survival of F. oxysporum f. sp. lactucae. In a controlled experiment that represented optimal drying conditions, fragmenting and oven drying infested lettuce taproots at 30°C significantly reduced the frequency of recovery of the pa
