  Botrytis cinerea -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
A grey (A parasitic plant lacking chlorophyll and leaves and true stems and roots and reproducing by spores) fungus, Botrytis cinerea or Botrytis, that affects (Fermented juice (of grapes especially)) wine (Any of various juicy purple- or green-skinned fruit of the genus Vitis; grow in clusters) grapes.
Botrytis cinerea is characterized by hyaline conida on gray conidiophores.
Botrytis produces an anti-fungal that kills yeast and often results in fermentaion stopping before the wine has reached sufficient levels of alcohol.

 Agriculture, Fisheries and Aquaculture - Botrytis Blight of Wild Blueberries
The fungus (Botrytis cinerea) which causes this disease produces spores during the bloom period primarily on dead weeds within the field and on weeds bordering the field.
Since Botrytis blight does not cause any permanent damage to plants, the decision to control blight is based on the cost of the control measures, the value of blueberries and the expected crop loss from blight.
Fungicides for Botrytis blight control should be applied prior to the commencement of any wet periods, on a seven to ten day schedule between mid-bloom and the end of the bloom period.

 IPM : Reports on Plant Diseases : Gray-Mold Rot or Botrytis Blight of Vegetables
Cool, damp, poorly ventilated greenhouses are ideal for the disease, and Botrytis blights are probably the most common diseases of greenhouse-grown crops, especially in the spring and fall when the vents of greenhouses are closed at night to prevent heat loss.
Outdoors Botrytis overwinters in the soil as mycelium on plant debris, and as fl, hard, flat or irregular sclerotia in the soil and plant debris, or mixed with seed.
Botrytis is also active at low temperatures, and can cause problems on vegetables stored for weeks or months at temperatures ranging from 32 to 50 (0 to 10 C).

 Strat's Place - Daniel Rogov - Botrytis - The Noble Rot
Botrytis, it should be understood, is a beneficial fungus that can transform an ordinary wine into a great one.
In California and Australia, botrytis is rarely found in nature but the spores are sometimes sprayed on vines that have been set aside in isolated buildings, thus allowing a somewhat artificial but controlled development of the rot.
In Israel, for example, botrytis has appeared at least five times in the last fifteen years but only once, in 1988 were there enough grapes to produce a sizeable amount of wine.

 Botrytis Blight
Botrytis blight or gray mold is a fungus disease which infects a wide array of herbaceous annual and perennial plants.
Botrytis blight of peony infects the base of young shoots as they emerge from the ground and covers them with a dense velvety gray mold.
When Botrytis blight of peony is a problem, avoid the use of dense, wet, mulches and apply the first fungicide spray in early spring, just as the red shoots begin to push up out of the ground.

 This could be bad grape Botrytis year
"Botrytis hits California vineyards hard every three years and this could be one of those years with all the moisture we have had," Gubler told a group of growers and pest control advisers recently at a grape pest control strategies workshop sponsored by Bayer CropScience.
Botrytis requires free water and 95 percent humidity to germinate spores, said Gubler.
It is difficult for grape growers to avoid Botrytis since it can be found just about anywhere on the vine and even in dead blossoms and leaves on the vineyard floor.

 Floriculture: Fact Sheets: Pest Management: Botrytis Blight of Greenhouse Crops
Botrytis blight is one of the most common fungus diseases of greenhouse crops.
The disease is often referred to as gray-mold because it produces a crop of gray fuzzy-appearing spores on the surface of infected tissues.
In general terms, germination of spores and infection of the host is dependant on a film of moisture for 8 to 12 hours, relative humidity 93% or greater, and temperatures between 55 - 75 F. Botrytis blight is more prevalent in the spring and fall months.

Some species of Botrytis form tiny fl resting stuctures called sclerotia that may be evident on dead plant tissue in late summer.
Botrytis blight can affect leaves, stems, crowns, flowers, flower buds, seeds, seedlings, bulbs, and just about any other part of a plant with the exception of the roots.
For some Botrytis spp., sclerotia develop in dead plant tissue and form the overwintering stage of the fungus.

 Botrytis on Tomato Factsheet
Gray mold is caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea.
One-celled spores are borne on branched conidiophores, and the arrangement of the spores gives the fungus its name, from the Greek botrys, meaning a bunch of grapes.
Penetration of the mycelium of Botrytis into the fruit produces a host reaction preventing any further mycelial growth and results in localization of the pathogen.

Shoots: Under favourable conditions Botrytis infects young succulent shoot growth early in the season causing patches of soft brown rot, which often break at the nodes revealing a brown discolouration of internal tissues.
Sources of Botrytis within vines can be reduced by removing dead canes and grape ‘mummies’ from the vines at pruning and burying them.
As moisture and temperature on the surface of flowers and berries influence Botrytis infection and development, vineyard management practices that ensure that vine canopies and bunches are well aerated also contribute to disease control.
