Application of excessive quantities of manure is associated with increased white mold severity. The effect of manure is a direct consequence of increased canopy density and the favorable environment for disease created by the dense canopy. In a Minnesota experiment, application of very high rates of nitrogen in swine manure resulted in a slight increase of white mold severity.
