Abstract

Detached mature grape berries from seven cultivars were inoculated with conidia of Botrytis cinerea over a range of 10 2 -10 6 conidia per milliliter. The percentage of diseased berries was determined after 7 days at 25 C and 95% relative humidity. The slope of the inoculum density-disease incidence response, used as an index of susceptibility, ranged from 0.07 for Emperor to 2.13 for Muscat of Alexandria in 1988. Cabernet Sauvignon and Muscat of Alexandria berries were more susceptible than expected, considering the low level of disease usually observed in the field. Cluster tightness was also quantified for the seven cultivars (...)
