Abstract/Contents:"The importance of oxalic acid in the pathogenicity of many species of Sclerotinia fungi has been demonstrated in the past by de Bary (1886), Maxwell and Lumsden (1970) and Malgro et al. (1984, 1987). During the development of a broadleaf granular turf bioherbicide with the fungus Sclerotinia minor, the beneficial effect of oxalic acid to enhance the virulence of the pathogen was investigated. Both the yield of mycelial biomass produced in shake flasks and the oxalic acid content of the formulated mycelium were maximized. S. minor was grown in 125 ml of eight different liquid culture media in shake flasks incubated at 20 C for 7 days. After which the final pH, mycelial dry weight and oxalic acid production were determined. The virulence of S. minor grown on each culture media was also screened on detached dandelion leaves and the necrotic area was measured by image analysis. A 330% increase in oxalic acid was obtained with Modified Richard's Solution (MRS) with the addition of 56 mM of sodium succinate as compared to MRS alone."
