Grey mould and chocolate spot, caused by Botrytis cinerea and Botrytis fabae respectively, are serious diseases of pulse crops worldwide. The severity of epidemics is dependent upon the prevailing environmental conditions, particularly high humidity and temperatures in the range of 15-25oC. The fungi attack all aerial parts of the plants, and flowers and growing tips are particularly susceptible. Yield loss occurs through the death of plants, reduced growth, or shrivelled seeds in diseased plants. In severe epidemics 100% yield loss can occur. Seed-borne infection can result in seedling rot, resulting in seedling death and stunted plants. The pathogens can survive on infected debris and seed, either as conidia, mycelium or sclerotia, or directly in the soil as sclerotia. Desirable levels of host-plant resistance against Botrytis spp. infection are scarce and chemicals are expensive. There is also the potential threat of the development of fungicide tolerant strains. Hence integrated disease management involving a combination of foliar fungicides and seed dressings, resistance breeding, and cultural methods (reducing crop density, wider row spaces, erect plant habit) to alter the microclimate is the most viable option for effective management of Botrytis spp.
