First Report of Botrytis Blight of Peanut Caused by Botrytis cinerea in Georgia

520 |a Because of the importance of spotted wilt caused by Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), most peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) breeding programs in the southeastern United States are focusing on developing resistance to TSWV. Many of the cultivars with improved resistance to TSWV are late maturing, requiring 150 days to reach optimum maturity. This factor could greatly impact disease problems at harvest. During November of 2004, an unknown disease was observed on peanut cvs. Georgia 02-C and Hull in a commercial field in Appling County. Symptoms included wilting stems with water-soaked lesions and a dense, gray mold growing on infected tissues. Final disease incidence was less than 5%. For isolation, diseased tissue was surface sterilized by soaking in 0.5% sodium hypochlorite for 1 min, air dried, plated on potato dextrose agar (PDA), and incubated at 20°C. Botrytis cinerea Pers.:Fr., causal agent of Botrytis blight, was isolated from the margins of infected tissue. Mycelia were initially white but became gray after 72 h at which time tall, branched, septate conidiophores formed. Mature, unicellular, ellipsoid, hyaline conidia (8.9 × 10.4 μm) formed in botryose heads (1). Hard, black, irregular-shaped sclerotia formed after 2 weeks. Stems of greenhouse-grown peanut plants (cv. Georgia Green) were inoculated with PDA plugs colonized with either B. cinerea or B. allii Munn. Inoculations were made 3 cm below the last fully expanded leaf on wounded and nonwounded tissue. Noncolonized PDA plugs served as controls (n = 9). Plants were arranged in a dew chamber at 20°C in a randomized complete block design. Lesions and spore masses identical to those observed in the field appeared 3 to 5 days after being inoculated with B. cinerea. The B. allii inoculations caused only superficial lesions. After 5 days, mean lesion lengths for B. cinerea were 59 and 37 mm for wounded and nonwounded inoculations, respectively. B. cinerea was recovered from 100% of the symptomatic tissues. Botrytis blight is considered a late-season disease that occurs in cool, wet weather (3). Symptoms similar to those of Botrytis blight were observed on mature and over-mature peanut in Georgia and have been cited as "unpublished observations" (2); however, to our knowledge, this is the first report of the disease in Georgia. Although Botrytis blight is not considered a major peanut disease, it may become more prevalent at harvest as producers utilize late-maturing cultivars to manage spotted wilt. References: (1) H. L.
