Scope and Method of Study: Soil water potential (Ψ) is an important parameter that affects the development of plant diseases. Sclerotinia blight of peanut caused by S. minor and S. sclerotiorum has been chosen as a model for soil-borne diseases. To study the effect of Ψ on Sclerotinia blight, the following objectives have been addressed: 1) the effect of Ψs and Ψm on the vegetative growth in vitro and sclerotia viability of the pathogens. Mycelia were grown on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) media amended to different Ψs and Ψm. The Area under Mycelial Progress Curve (AUMGPC), sclerotia number and germination were recorded; 2) Study the pathogenicity of mycelial inocula of the pathogens produced at various Ψs and Ψm. Seedlings of "Okrun" cultiva...
