Evaluation of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum isolates for oxalic acid production
Abstract
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum was isolated from infected parts of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and confirmed with pathogenicity test.Highest oxalic acid production was in the isolate Ss3 (160.64 μg mg−1 dry wt.). While halo to colony (H/C) ratio of different isolates ranged between 1.03 and 1.38.
