This research reviews the impact and control of Sclerotinia, a devastating fungal disease that affects many important food crops worldwide. The fungus causes significant economic losses by damaging crops like canola, soybeans, lettuce, and other vegetables. The study examines various ways to control this disease, from traditional farming practices to modern biological controls and genetic modification approaches. Impacts on everyday life: • Food Security – Sclerotinia affects crop yields and quality, potentially increasing food costs and reducing availability • Farming Practices – Farmers must carefully plan crop rotations and timing of treatments to manage the disease • Environmental Considerations – The push for more sustainable farming practices is driving development of biological controls to reduce chemical fungicide use • Consumer Choice – Disease management costs and crop losses can affect food prices and availability in grocery stores • Agricultural Innovation – Research into new control methods is advancing our understanding of plant diseases and driving technological innovation in farming
