Abstract
SCLEROTINIA ROT, caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is now one of the most serious vegetable diseases in metropolitan market gardens.
Over the past decade it has been steadily increasing in prevalence and if present trends continue, many growers may be forced to abandon certain crops.
Although most vegetables are susceptible, the greatest losses are occurring in the autumn planting of beans, cauliflowers and lettuce and in the production of cauliflower seed.
