Occurrence of Sclerotinia Stem Rot of Osteospermum sp., Felicia amelloides, and Ranunculus asiaticus in Argentina

520 |a Three ornamental species, Osteospermum sp. (L.), Felicia amelloides (L.) Voss, and Ranunculus asiaticus L., cultivated in greenhouses on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, showed sudden wilt and death during October 2002. These species are new ornamentals in Argentina. The diseased plants were cultivated in plastic containers filled with commercial potting mix. Soft rot was observed at the base of the plants. Stem lesions became covered with whitish mycelium that produced large, black sclerotia (5 to 7 mm in diameter) characteristic of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary (1). The fungus was consistently recovered from infected stem pieces that were disinfested for 1 min in 0.2% NaOCl and plated on potato dextrose agar (PDA), pH 7. Pathogenicity of the three isolates obtained from infected plants was confirmed by inoculating 10 3-month-old healthy plants of each species in 14-cm-diameter plastic pots. Each isolate was inoculated on the host from which it had been isolated. Inoculum consisted of three mycelial plugs from 7-day-old PDA cultures that were placed on the substrate at the base of the plants. Control plants were treated with sterile agar plugs. Inoculated and noninoculated plants were covered with transparent plastic bags for 2 days and incubated in a growth chamber at 20 to 24°C with a 12-h photoperiod. All inoculated plants developed symptoms of leaf yellowing and wilt. Soft and watery tissues were observed at the base of the plants, soon followed by the appearance of white mycelium. Disease symptoms were similar to those observed on the original infected plants and appeared 6, 5, and 3 days after inoculation on Osteospermum sp., F. amelloides, and R. asiaticus, respectively. All inoculated plants died within 3 weeks, and control plants remained healthy. S. sclerotiorum was reisolated from inoculated plants of each species, fulfilling Koch's postulates. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the occurrence of Sclerotinia stem rot on these three plant species in Argentina. Reference: (1) J. E. M. Mordue and P. Holliday.
