Kit Description


Specific kit for the qualitative, rapid and specific detection of Botrytis cinerea in plant samples, grape juice and wine.

Botrytis cinerea is a parasitic fungus that attacks many varieties of plants.

Among the various hosts, the most economically significant is the grapevine. In viticulture, it is commonly known as "gray rot" or "grey mold."

The ideal conditions for the development of this mold are an alternation between dry heat and the right amount of humidity, often provided by morning dew.

The infection can cause the affected bunches to fall, negatively impacting production.

Furthermore, it can also create problems for the growth of seedlings grown in greenhouses or under tunnels (vegetables), mostly in the absence of rotation, on abundantly fertilized substrates, with strong water and mineral element inputs, also in this case causing serious production losses.
