Abstract
Numbers of T. basicola propagules rapidly declined in lucerne-amended, and to a lesser extent, in groundnut-amended soil; other crop residues tested had no effect. When the amended soils were planted with groundnut disease incidence was not affected but propagule numbers increased in lucerne-amended soil. In soil cropped with maize, oats, wheat, groundnuts, lucerne or sorghum, propagule numbers declined significantly only with lucerne. Living roots of lucerne, sorghum, wheat and groundnuts were colonized and T. basicola also saprophytically colonized lucerne, wheat, maize and oat residues
