Q. Which one of the following fruit crops is most affected by the Botrytis fungus?
Answer: A
Notes:
Explanation:
- The plant most affected by the Botrytis fungus (also known as gray mold) is grapes, especially when used in winemaking. While Botrytis cinerea has a wide host range, affecting over 200 crop species, grapes are particularly susceptible. In winemaking, a specific strain of Botrytis, known as “noble rot,” can be beneficial, enhancing the sweetness and acidity of the grapes, leading to more expensive wines.
