rots due to botrytis (Botrytis cinerea) are responsible for severe production losses both in the field and post-harvest , in a wide range of economically important crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, chemical methods were used to combat botrytis. But the long-term use of fungicides has resulted in the development of resistant strains of , fungus while at the same time the residues of these plant protection products on crops have increased significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* As for the post-harvest treatment of , fruits there are few chemical methods available to combat ,, alternative products with fungicidal properties for protection against botrytis (Botrytis cinerea) have been sought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 It was found that local infections with certain , pathogens increased fruit resistance to a wide range of other , pathogens such as , fungi bacteria and viruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also reports that the defensive mechanisms of plants are promoted by the application of a chemical agent; several such agents have been recognized to promote the resistance of plants to fungal infestations and botrytis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The substance chitosan was found to be effective against fungal and bacteriological infestations. It is also known for its action as a biostimulant that in many plants promotes their defense by activating the action of enzymes such as chitinases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acibenzolar-S-methyl is a biostimulant of plant defense mechanisms. It was found to be effective in managing gray rot (botrytis) in strawberry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was found that both of these substances can limit the growth of botrytis in the laboratory and help protect grapes from fungus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Synthetic chemical compounds that stimulate the natural defenses of , plants as well as compounds found in , nature that promote the defense mechanisms of , plants are an alternative perspective for disease management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
