They therefore require specific handling and treatments to ensure optimal presentation and preservation. PREVENT BOTRYTIS PROLIFERATION USING UV In a confined and humid atmosphere, the flowers can develop a mold on the petal, Botrytis Cinerea, which makes them unsuitable for marketing. Flowers can be contaminated by this fungus through air, water or direct contact with other affected flowers. This micro-organism, which develops even in refrigerated premises (positive cold), is responsible for significant losses, due to poor presentation but also poor preservation. These very easily airborne spores can, through cross-contamination, attack all the flowers on the premises and cause significant financial losses. TRADITIONAL SOLUTIONS As a substitute for the necessary treatments by spraying in cultivation or dipping at harvest, one of the common solutions is to treat the air in warehouses using fungicide fumigants, but this is expensive, dangerous for staff and this process leaves deposits on all surfaces. It is also important to note that numerous studies highlight the ability of Botrytis strains to become resistant to the chemical substances usually used.
