Stepwise screening of microorganisms for commercial use in biological control of plant-pathogenic fungi and bacteria (2011, background): “An example of successful practical use of biological control is the product Contans, containing spores of the antagonistic fungus Coniothyrium minitans which destroy sclerotia of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Whipps et al., 2008; McQuilken and Chalton, 2009).”
Review on Concepts in Biological Control of Plant Pathogens (2014, unknown): “The latter is applied to the soil to kill Sclerotinia sclerotiorum , an important disease of many agricultural and horticultural crops such as oilseed rape, lettuce, carrots, beans and brassicas (Whipps et al ., 2008).”
The development, regulation and use of biopesticides for integrated pest management (2011, background): “Coniothyrium minitans is a mycoparasite applied against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, an 176 important disease of many agricultural and horticultural crops [32].”
