“…No complete resistance to S. sclerotiorum for soybean and sunflower is available, complicating one of the primary management strategies for disease prevention (Kim and Diers, 2000). However, tolerance to Sclerotinia diseases has been observed in soybean cultivars (Bester, 2018; Mbedzi et al, 2019; McCaghey et al, 2019). The use of seed treatments in combination with tolerant cultivars is a recommended practice in lieu of resistant varieties.…”

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum survives in seed through two mechanisms, infected seed and infested seed bags contaminated with survival structures, sclerotia (Tu, 1988). The ability of the pathogen to persist for extended periods is due to the prolonged survival of sclerotia (~10 years; Abawi and Grogan, 1979;Ben-Yephet et al., 1993), essentially made up of melanized mycelial masses which accumulate once the infection cycle has been completed or interrupted (Willetts and Bullock, 1992). Seed-borne S. sclerotiorum and sclerotia infested
