Botrytis rot - other hosts

  • Botrytis cinerea has a wide host range and is capable of attacking a wide range of plant species, weeds, ornamentals, arable and causing significant problems on most horticultural crops especially fruit.
  • There appears to be little or no host specialisation.
  • In the UK it is the main cause of rotting on stored pears and on strawberry, raspberry and blackcurrant.
