Abstract
Wetting of S. rolfsii sclerotia produced in peanut [Arachis hypogaea] field soil did not enhance germination unless other stimulants also were present. Field-produced sclerotia germinated and S. rolfsii grew profusely in the presence of remoistened dried green peanut stems and leaves, but not in the presence of partially decomposed peanut debris from the field. Dried green leaves from peanut cultivars Florigiant, Florunner, NC 2, NC 3003 and a Spanish selection (C2) all stimulated equal mounts of sclerotial germination.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
