The aim of the study is to systematize existing knowledge about black rot (Guignardia bidwellii) of grapes through a literature review. Objectives: to comprehensively analyze scientific publications on the etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and control methods (host resistance prevention, agricultural practices, sanitation, microbiome, and fungicides). With the increasing frequency of extreme weather events due to global warming, changes in the distribution and severity of fungal infections are observed. One such disease, causing economic damage to production, is black rot of grapes. Caused by fungal diseases, black rot causes serious damage to plants, attacking leaves, stems, fruits, and the root system. Preventive measures (agrotechnical) to combat black rot include well-ventilated bush formations that prevent crown thickening, timely weeding and gartering, and treatment of the vineyard with biological and chemical fungicides, taking into account the physiological and biochemical indicators of grape resistance to stress. It is necessary to develop and introduce new varieties with resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, including increased resistance to black rot, and conduct monitoring using unmanned aerial vehicles, artificial intelligence, and advanced software technologies. Controlling black rot during the growing season helps maintain product quality during storage, preventing decay. It is important to study the dynamics of biogenic amine compounds in finished products affected by black rot. A well-designed combination of disease control methods and strategies will effectively protect vineyards from black rot and produce a good-quality harvest, while maintaining the ecological balance of the environment and thereby ensuring the sustainable development of viticulture as a whole.
