Glucosinolate-derived Compounds as a Green Manure for Controlling Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella in Soil

Objective

The objective is to determine the glucosinolates content of different cultivars of broccoli grown in greenhouses, and investigate the persistence of enteric pathogens (surrogate strains) in soil tilled over with green manure (remnant crop after broccoli harvest) containing GSL-derived compounds.
