THE ECOLOGY OF BOTRYTIS CINEREA IN GRAPE BUNCHESand the implementation of disease control programmes in the vineyard

摘要

Botrytis cinerea is a fungal disease that occurs in various grape producing regions around the world, including SA. Infection often occurs in the vineyard and will go unnoticed for a large part of the season, and under these circumstances only becomes apparent during the late season or during cold storage, when grey mould appears. This makes the disease particularly difficult to manage.
