Timing Fungicide Applications for Managing Sclerotinia Stem Rot of Potato

Development and Genetic Diversity of Sclerotinia Sclerotiorum on Potato in the Columbia Basin

By Zahi Kanaan-Atallah, Ph.D. Washington State University May 2003 Chair: Dennis A. Johnson Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary is a cosmopolitan, homothallic and necrotrophic ascomycetous fungus dispersed by airborne ascospores and soilborne sclerotia. It causes disease in over 400 host species. A significant correlation between potato yield losses and stem rot incidence has not been obser...

Brown Rot of Potato

Brown rot, also known as bacterial wilt, is one of the most destructive diseases of potato. The disease has been estimated to affect about 3.75 million acres in approximately 80 countries throughout the world with global damage estimates currently over $950 million per year. The disease is known to occur in the wet tropics, sub-tropics and some temperate regions of the world. In the United Stat...

Efficacy of Micro-Nutrients, Fungicides and Bio-Agents against Sclerotinia Stem Rot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) of Indian Mustard

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary is a broad range fungal pathogen which attacks more than 500 species of higher plants (Boland and Hall, 1994; Saharan and Mehta, 2008; Sharma et al.,, 2015a). The pathogen can cause serious losses in yield and quality on numerous important field and vegetable crops (Purdy, 1979). Stem rot of Indian mustard caused by S. sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary has beco...
