After infection, the young plants often cause the death of the growth point, and sometimes infect the bulb, which can make the bulb rot. Botrytis cinerea of lily mainly passes through the bad environment with sclerotia. Conidia are produced by sclerotia in spring and spread rapidly in the field by means of wind, rain and airflow. It started in early May and flourished from late May to late June. The temperature in this period is high, and if there is a long-term overcast and rain, the disease will accelerate the epidemic. Prolonged rain and thundershowers can promote the epidemic of the disease. The application of immature organic fertilizer, excessive nitrogen fertilizer and low-lying stagnant water are all beneficial to the disease.
