White mold of beans in New York

Author
Abawi, George; Hunter, James
Abstract
The fungus that causes the white mold disease of beans,
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, has caused serious losses in central
and western New York in recent years. The disease has
been economically more important in snap beans than dry
beans because in addition to direct losses in the field,
detection of more than 2 per cent diseased pods in a
truckload at the processing plant may result in rejection of
the whole load. Furthermore, even a low incidence of white
mold may lower the grade or increase the cost of processing.
