They are initially white and then gradually change to grey, until they cover most of the leaf and cause it to wilt. The fungus attacks the flowers and small fruits of lemon and is characterized by its gray to greenish-gray spores. The fungus can develop in the flowers. Or on young branches, gray rot reduces fruit set and damages young fruits, leading to the formation of raised areas or ridges on the peel.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"774\" height=\"1049\" src=\"https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-80596-2.png\" alt=\"Gray mold - the world of plants\" class=\"wp-image-80617\" title=\"Gray mold - the world of plants\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-80596-2.png 774w, https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-80596-2-768x1040.png 768w, https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-80596-2-1200x1626.png 1200w, https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-80596-2-64x86.png 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Comparison between Penicillium fungus and gray mold fungus on lemon fruits)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B8%D8%B1%D9%88%D9%81_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%A8%D8%A9_%D9%84%D8%A5%D9%86%D8%AA%D8%B4%D8%A7%D8%B1_%D9%85%D8%B1%D8%B6_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D9%81%D9%86_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B1%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%8A_%D9%81%D9%8A_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%85%D9%88%D9%86\"><\/span><strong>Suitable conditions for the spread of gray mold disease in lemon<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Infected petals are the main source of infection for fruits and branches, as the fungus lives in conditions of humidity and cold for long periods.
