The influence of light on the development of phytopathogenic fungi is of considerable importance for phytopathological studies. In this paper, the qualitative influence of individual visible light spectra on the development of the fungus Monilia fructigena (Pers. ex Pers.) Steud. was investigated. The results have not only theoretical implications for pathogenicity but also practical applications. Most previous studies have focused only on quantitative aspects of light influence, while this work analyses the spectral quality of light in relation to germination, mycelial growth and fruiting.
