INFLUENCE OF SOIL AND SUBSTRATES ON SCLEROTIUM PRODUCTION IN THE CARPOGENIC GERMINATION OF Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
Keywords:
Supressiveness, conduciveness, Phaseolus vulgarisAbstract
In order to select the best substratum for production of sclerotia and a soil for carpogenic germination, two substrata, rice husks and carrots, and two samples of a Dark Red Latossol with contrasting histories – cropped soil with bean under central pivot irrigation, and uncropped soil – were used. Both substrata were efficient for sclerotia production. However, sclerotia produced on rice husks formed larger numbers of apothecia when buried in soil. Soil history affected the carpogenic germination of sclerotia significantly. The uncropped soil showed suppressive characteristics, indicated by a delay in the appearance of the stipes, slow apothecia formation, and smaller number of stipes and apothecia formed, as related to the cropped soil.
