Botrytis gray mold disease of lilium is a major fungal disease and is one of the main factors that limit the lilium cultivation and production. It appeared as a new disease on crop lilium from May to August (2018-2019) causing death of leaves and flowers. The pathogen was consistently isolated on PDA, from infected leaves and flowers. Botrytis cinerea was recorded as a gray mold pathogen on Lilium for the first time in Kashmir, causing leaf and flower and blight. The fungus was identified as B. cinerea based on morphological characteristics of isolate in pure culture as well as on host and molecular characteristics.
