Sclerotinia minor-biocontrol target or agent?

Abstract

Sclerotinia minor is the causal agent of several important crop diseases including lettuce drop and Sclerotinia blight of peanut. Extensive search for biocontrol of the Sclerotinia diseases has culminated in the commercialization of Coniothyrium minitans. Sclerotinia minor is also an effective bioherbicide that can be effectively and safely used to control broadleaf weeds in turf environments. © 2007 Springer.
