Botrytis Blight (fungus - Botrytis cinerea): Under high humidity and mild temperatures this fungus can attack blooms and tender growth. Blossoms may shrivel prematurely as if injured by frost. The fungus grows profusely, producing a gray to brownish fuzzy material on infected parts. Rarely is Botrytis a serious problem, but when it occurs, heavy losses can result. Botrytis can also cause post harvest fruit rot. See fungicides.
