Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, like many other fungi, need moisture and available nutrients (carbohydrates) to germinate. They then invade nonliving organic matter, and use this as a base to infect living plants.
It is impossible to remove all support for the scelrotia as this would kill the desired plants.
Tilling or hoeing the soil around the plant can spread the sclerotia by making its spores airborne and by damaging stems and roots.
The opportunities for sclerotia growth can be reduced by spacing plants out and clearing material from underneath them to allow free air circulation and drying.
