Stromatinia cepivora is a fungus in the division Ascomycota.It is the teleomorph of Sclerotium cepivorum, the cause of white rot in onions, garlic, and leeks. [2] The infective sclerotia remain viable in the soil for many years and are stimulated to germinate by the presence of a susceptible crop.
There are seven different species of Botrytis associated with onions in storage, but the rot induced by B. allii and B. aclada causes the greatest commercial loss. The two can be distinguished microscopically; the conidia of B. allii have a maximum length of 15 μm and mean size of 10.2 × 5.7 μm, while the conidia of B. aclada have a maximum length of 12 μm and mean size of 8.6 × 4.6 μm.
Compared to 23 common soybean diseases, sclerotinia stem rot was the second most problematic disease in the United States from 1996 to 2009. [8] [9] For soybeans, crop yields are inversely correlated with the incidence of Sclerotinia stem rot; an estimated of 0.25 metric ton per ha is lost for each 10% increment of diseased plants. [11]
