Abstract

White mold, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a devastating and recalcitrant disease of dry bean. Symptoms of white mold are bleached, necrotic lesions on stems and pods accompanied by fungal signs including white, cottony mycelia and sclerotia. This study evaluated the efficacy of selected OMRI-listed fungicides with the potential for white mold control in organic dry black bean production in New York. All products significantly reduced the incidence on plants compared with nontreated control plots, except for Double Nickel. The incidence on plants in plots receiving Double Nickel was not significantly different from Howler EVO, Theia, and Badge X2. The incidence of white mold on pods was significantly reduced by all treatments compared with control plots, and they were not significantly different between each other. Treatment had no significant effect on the pod yield components.
