“…The results of these studies were described in many papers and are summarized in Table 1. Particularly intense studies were conducted with the parasitic fungus Coniothyrium minitans (Huang and Hoes 1976;Turner and Tribe 1976;McQuilken et al 1995;Zeng et al 2012b). Contans®WG, a commercial formulation of C. minitans (strain CON/M/91-08), is known for its capacity to reduce the damage caused by S. sclerotiorum to several crops by infecting and degrading sclerotia in the soil (McQuilken and Chalton 2009).…”

“…Colonization of sclerotia by C. minitans occurred very fast and half of the sclerotia were infected during the first week. After four weeks 100% of the sclerotia were colonized (Zeng et al 2012b). The optimum parameters for C. minitans growth were 15-20°C and pH 4.5-5.6.…”

Biological control of the soil-borne fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum –– a review

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Diseases caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib) de Bary are difficult to control and cause increasing losses of horticultural crops worldwide. Reasons of this phenomenon are various: (i) the specialization of crop production that causes the accumulation of the pathogen in the soil; (ii) the lack of a safe and efficient method of soil fumigation; (iii) the specific life cycle of S. sclerotiorum with survival structures (sclerotia), resistant to chemical and biological degradation. Sclerotinia diseases depend on many environmental factors which determine sclerotia survival and ascospores dissemination, because plants are mainly infected by air-borne ascospores from carpogenic germination of sclerotia. Due to the lack of effective synthetic agents for eradication of S. sclerortiorum from soil considerable interest has been focused on biological control, especially the selection of microorganisms with mycoparasitic activity towards S. sclerotiorum sclerotia, that can decrease their number in the soil. In this work we review reports on the use of different antagonistic fungi and bacteria in the control of S. sclerotiorum and discuss the suppressive effect of organic amendments against this soil-borne pathogen.

“…Due to the characteristics of white mold on soybean, several steps should be taken to control it, such as crop rotation; covering the soil with dry biomass made from winter crops; wider row spacing at the time of sowing; less plant density; the choice of cultivars that are less susceptible to pathogen; the use of healthy and treated seeds; as well as appropriate sowing dates and biological control (GRAU; HARTMAN, 1999;ALMEIDA et al, 2005;GOULART, 2005;JACCOUD FILHO et al, 2010b;ZENG et al, 2012). However, in areas with a high potential for inoculum, and favorable conditions for the development of the pathogen, the effectiveness of these methods alone is low (MUELLER et al, 2002).…”

Reduction of white mold level on soybean by fungicide management strategies

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

ABSTRACT:The objective of this study was to verify the efficiency of the control of white mold on soybean with the use of fungicides applied alone and in rotation, at different growth stages and in a mixture of two active ingredients at three locations: Arapoti, PR, Mauá-da-Serra, PR and Pinhão, PR, Brazil. The fungicides used were carbendazim (Ca), thiophanate methyl (Tm), procymidone (Pr) and fluazinam (Fl). The experiments consisted on 17 treatments and 4 replications in a randomized block design. The analyzed variables were severity, incidence, number of sclerotia and yield. Mauá-da-Serra and Pinhão presented the highest incidences (31% and 29.8% in the control, respectively). At these two locations most of treatments with fungicides decreased the incidence and production of sclerotia, when compared to control; however, no differences in terms of yield were observed. Arapoti presented the lowest incidence (15.8% in the control) where most of treatments with fungicides did not present differences for the variables incidence, production of sclerotia and yield, when compared to the control. No differences were also observed for severity in any of three locations. In conclusion, fungicides applied in soybean areas with historically white mold incidence up to 31% can reduce the disease incidence and sclerotia production levels.
