Botrytis cinerea is a necrotic fungi that causes bunch rot in grapes. It is considered the most important disease of grapes, worldwide. Measuring Botrytis pressures early in the season allows spray diaries to be altered to more effectively manage disease. The method used estimates the latent infection of Botrytis cinerea in grape berries at pre-bunch closure. This method was sourced from Rob Beresford, Plant & Food Research, 6 April 2017.
