Zinnia Problem
Chatham County, September 2003
Diagnosis: Botrytis Blight (Botrytis cinerea)
Description and Biology of Botrytis Blight
The excessive rains of this summer have contributed to problems with Botrytis blight. The best way to manage Botrytis blight is by regular inspection and sanitation. Remove infected plant parts and place them in a bag so that they may be discarded with the trash or burned. Try not to do any sanitation when plants are wet with dew or rain since this could spread the disease. Wider plant spacing can increase air circulation and promote rapid drying of plants.
