The article presents the discussion on Botrytis bunch rot being the second most economically important disease of grapevines in Australia behind powdery mildew. Topics include short life cycle of B. cinerea, development of resistance in the pathogen being repeatedly exposed to the same fungicides; and adaption of genotypic techniques to a basic fieldbased process providing quick in-situ assessment of resistance frequencies.
