Fungicidal activity of N‐cetyl N,N,N‐trimethyl ammonium chloride to Botrytis cinerea Pers. Grey mould of grapes caused by Botrytis cinerea is the most important phytopatho‐logical problem in swiss vineyards, since the appearance of resistant strains to dicarboxi‐mides. Research for new chemicals is necessary. One compound, a cationic surfactant, the N‐cetyl N,N,N‐trimethyl ammonium chloride (CTAC), is very active in vitro against Botrytis cinerea . This product disturbs lethally the plasma membrane of conidia.
