Botrytis cinerea
Researchers at the Agricultural Research Service investigated the antimicrobial effects of "Muscodor albus" on "Botrytis cinerea", which causes the common grey mold found on table grapes. Researchers found that "Muscodor albus" reduces the occurrence of "Botrytis cinerea" up to 85% on table grapes. Utilizing "Muscodor albus"' antimicrobial effects is ideal for organic farmers who suffer a loss in yield due to the grey mold, which is usually treated with sulfur dioxide.
