White rot is most deadly to garlic, however, because garlic doesn't form a true seed and sclerotia cling readily to the cloves that are planted instead.
But the next time that same field is planted with garlic — farmers normally wait four or five years — the fungus strikes hard, thanks to high populations of sclerotia produced the first time around.
Applied to infested soil in the absence of garlic, when a field is planted with a rotation crop such as wheat or potatoes, DADS tricks sclerotia into germinating.

 Fungus Menaces Garlic Crop / El Nino blamed in spread of disease
Known to plant pathologists as ``garlic rust disease,'' the ruddy invader is a cousin to the disfiguring smut frequently found on rosebushes, snapdragons and peaches.
But even though garlic rust disease was first found in California in the 1930s, it has not attacked the crop on a large scale for at least 58 years.
But should the garlic rust prove to be more than a temporary blight, farmers may have to develop disease-resistant garlic or begin rotating crops to avoid the fungus.
