Controlling grey mold (Botrytis cinerea) in flowering cyclamen production

Abstract

The tissue invasion can be achieved by active (direct penetration of epidermal surface) and passive economic losses caused by the pathogen exceeded $ 10 billion worldwide (Weiberg et al., 2013) and due to economic impathogen in the world (Dean et al., 2012). One of the strategies for B. cinerea management is the fungicide application,The most serious problem in the cyclamen production in B. cinerea, which turns up at the B. cinerea infection can damage blossoms, but without growers can choose between two solutions: avoid using pesbut save the plants even so this solution delays marketing.

Assessing the Effect of Plant Growth Stimulants and Retardants on Cyclamen “Halios F1 Salmon Rose” Cultivar

“…In their research, Osterc et al [43] discovered that Cyclamen rosettes of plants exposed to long-day conditions were found to be larger in size compared to those exposed to shortday conditions. Due to this cultivation characteristic, Botrytis cinerea also poses a major problem [44]. In the mentioned research, Csorba et al (2023) [44] used the same Halios F1 Salmon Rose cultivar.…”

“…Due to this cultivation characteristic, Botrytis cinerea also poses a major problem [44]. In the mentioned research, Csorba et al (2023) [44] used the same Halios F1 Salmon Rose cultivar. Plant hormones like cytokinin and auxin treatments are increasing the resistance against the Botrytis cinerea infection, and this effect of the resistance is based on delaying senescence [45].…”
