Diseases caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum are an enormous production constraint to many crops across Alberta and the prairies. Recently two novel approaches to control of this disease have been identified and shown excellent promise in proof-of-concept trials. The results from this study will provide the evaluation needed for producers to utilize combinations of products already available that will give superior white mould control.
