| Abstract/Contents: | Sclerotinia minor Jagger, has been shown to be a potentially effective biological control agent aginst dandelion (Taraxacum officinale L.), two species of plantain (Plantago major L., P. lanceolata. L.) and other turf weed species. Research was undertaken to develop a granular sodium alginate based formulation with S. minor, which would retain viability when stored dry at room temperature for an extended period. Two different formulations were tested; the first consisting of a suspension of 1% sodium alginate, 6% kaolin clay, and 11% expended growth medium, and the second consisting of 1% sodium alginate, 4% kaolin clay, 2% ground wheat bran and 11% expended growth medium. Both mixtures were amended with 55 gL-1 homogenized mycelium of S. minor. The mycelial-alginate mixtures were pelletized by dropwise addition into solutions of either 0.25 M CaCl2 or 0.1 M Ca gluconate and dried in a laminar flow cabinet for 48 hours. These formulations were tested for viability and rate of spread from each pellet at weekly intervals. The ability of each formulation to kill the host was also evaluated for T. officinale and P. major under controlled environmental conditions." |
