Sclerotinia Rot of Lettuce in Cool Months

Sclerotinia rot of lettuce caused by Sclerotinia libertiana is a major crop disease in cooler periods. It affects many vegetables and crops, with lettuce and celery among the most susceptible. Symptoms include wilting, cottony fungal growth at plant bases, and black hardened sclerotia. Control is limited. remove and burn infected plants, soak surrounding soil with corrosive sublimate or formalin, and avoid continuous cultivation on contaminated land. When soil is heavily infested, rotating crops and sterilizing seed bed soil are advised, though costly.
