- Observation Sclerotinia disease of rape occurred in 19 Chinese provinces.
- Observation The disease was more prevalent and destructive in the Yang-Tze Valley and southeastern coastal provinces.
- Observation S. sclerotiorum attacked 71 economic plant species in 19 families.
- Observation Thirteen host species were previously unreported.
- Observation Five familiar plants previously listed as hosts were unaffected in China.
- Observation Flower petals of rape were most susceptible to ascospore attack, while sound leaves resisted attack unless chilled.
- Association Temperature drops, poor drainage and lodging during bloom predisposed rape plants to disease.
- Mechanism High humidity and diseased-tissue pectinase were necessary for infection.
- Recommendation The authors suggest forecasting epidemics using weather conditions.
