Potato white mold-also known as Sclerotinia stem rot-is a common foliar disease that thrives in well-irrigated, high moisture production systems and can significantly reduce yield.

The Plant Management Network (PMN) has released a new presentation entitled 'Epidemiology and Management of Potato White Mold' to help growers, consultants and extension agents understand how white mold persists and spreads, and evaluate management practices that can effectively limit plant damage and tuber yield loss.
