Bud Rot / Botrytis | Zenthanol IPM Series

This deep-dive is packed with new research about one of the worst pathogens, #Botrytiscinerea as well as other species of fungi that infect flower during or after harvest like #Penicillium, #Sclerotinia, #Diaporthe, and #Fusarium.

The biology of these fungi and their capabilities will be outlined so that strengths and weaknesses can be appreciated for best mitigation procedure.

What resistance is, is not, and limitations in visual assessment will also be covered.

Very recently, some of the more potent factors of Botrytis have been characterized—a single protein that by itself triggers plant cells to destroy themselves in an inappropriate defense has been confirmed, which may make resistance very difficult.

Treatment strategies and techniques will be covered, particularly those that focus on microbial, procedural, and environmental solutions that limit exposure and facilitation to the pathogen's ever-present spores.

Compact, C H O N K Y buds correlate with greater disease severity unfortunately, which may influence cultivar selection and breeding efforts.We even discuss some speculative #mycovirus #biocontrol that may become useful since they're very common and severely impair Botrytis and other #necrotroph infection.

Another reason visual resistance assessments are limited. As the founder of #Zenthanol Consulting it is very important to me to make this information easily accessible and usable for as many people as possible.
