In many cases, the incorporation of organic matter in the soil may be a beneficial alternative to chemicals for plant disease control. Lor example, Viana et al. (2000) reported that matured cattle manure and sugarcane husks are efficient alternatives for control of bean damping-off (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum). Larmyard manure applied at 5 t/ha once every three years reduced dry root rot (Macrophominaphaseolina) to 32% in groundnut (Arachis...

In red wine, only one grape protein was found (thaumatin) all other proteins were from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and a few others from plant pathogens and fungi (e.g., Botryotinia fuckeliana, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and Aspergillus aculeatus) (31). 

Disease resistance represents one of the more difficult traits for selection. The primary diseases impacting Jerusalem artichoke production are sclerotinia wilt/rot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary), rust (Puccinia helianthi Schw.), southern wilt/blight/collar rot (Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc.), and powdery mildew (Erysiphe cichoracearum DC.) (see Chapter 11). The importance of each disease is dependent upon the production site. For example, in Europe, sclerotinia is a critical disease, while rust and southern wilt are important diseases in North American production areas. Powdery mildew tends to be less important, in that Jerusalem artichoke appears to have reasonable levels of endogenous resistance.

For example/ inoculum consisting of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum-infested wheat kernels and sclerotia were hand-broadcast at five different locations to control Canada thistle FCirsium arvense (L.) Scop.] (21). The mean percentage of dead shoots ranged from 20% to 80% which showed a dependence upon location and data collection times. However/ at all five sites/ the percentage of dead shoots was significantly higher in the treated than in the control plots. 

Interestingly, the cleistothecial powdery mildew Blumeria graminis (fig. 3 Erysiphales) clusters with Sclerotinia sclerotiorum [319]. Additional complete 18S rDNA sequences of powdery mildew fungi are necessary to clarify the phylogenetic relationship between Erisyphales and Leotiales. It is, however, remarkable that many representatives of the Leotiales have asci with thick-walled apices [Oberwinkler, pers. commun.].
