Giant buttercup, Ranunculus acris, is a serious weed affecting dairy pastures throughout New Zealand, especially in the Takaka and Taranaki regions. Although Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a serious pathogen of many agricultural and horticultural crops, it is also a potentially effective weed bio-control agent. Previous experiments have shown that the disease risk to susceptible crops is sufficiently low for the risk-averse deployment of this pathogen as a mycoherbicide in pastures. However, the degree of infection when applied as mycelial fragments to field populations of pasture weeds has proven highly variable. Detached leaf and whole plant pathogenicity tests were conducted using both ascospore and mycelial inoculum to determine which inoculum preparation was more effective at initiating disease in giant buttercup. Results will be presented and their implications for the use of Sclerotinia as a mycoherbicide discussed.
