Isolation, characterization and control of Botrytis spp. pathogenic on strawberry in Iran.

ABSTRACT: This study was performed to identify Botrytis species pathogenic on strawberry and investigate effect of Ferula gummosa essential oil (EO) against Botrytis spp. The infected plant samples were collected in Khorasan Razavi province from strawberry fruits with gray mold disease symptoms. Following purification of the fungi, of the 54 isolates, 53 isolates were identified as B. cinerea and 1 isolate belonged to B. pelargonii based on morphological and molecular (ITS and RPB2 sequences) identification. The EO obtained from F. gummosa at 125, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 μg mL^-1 concentrations showed significant antifungal effect on mycelial growth of B. cinerea and B. pelargonii in a dose dependent manner. Also, the EO at all concent
