New technique predicts gray mold in stored kiwifruit.

Sampling fruit from vineyards 4 months after fruit set and recording the incidence of Botrytis cinerea colonization in sepals or stem ends was used as a field-monitoring method to predict the incidence of kiwifruit B. cinerea grey mould after 3 or 5 months in cold storage. Spraying the fungicide vinclozolin 1 or 2 weeks before harvest significantly reduced postharvest grey mould after 5 months storage only in vineyards with >6% grey mould. Preharvest sprays were not needed when expected grey mould was <6%. The method reported here can be used successfully by growers to make decisions about preharvest sprays, sorting, repacking and when to market and ship fruit.
