Botrytis cinerea Pers. specie infects a large number of host plants in a variety of environmental conditions. Grey mould caused by Botrytis cinerea Pers. can cause dieback and decay of most plant parts, and a huge number of plant species can be affected including vegetables, soft fruits, ornamental plants and vine. The chemical control of plant diseases records a decrease and the biological control of plant diseases through herbal extracts gains more and more importance. Given the above mentioned facts and the fact that gray mold has a negative impact on the yield and quality of harvest this paper mainly aims at studying the control of gray mold by biological methods - hydroalcoholic extracts; the effect of different plant extracts on the emergence and development of mycelium.
