5 Caused by Fusarium spp. 



Cauliflower 



Over 25,000 carlots of cauliflower were unloaded during the 7-year 

 period. Truck shipments, almost entirely from New Jersey and 

 New York (Long Island and elsewhere), constituted 68 percent of all 

 unloads. Thirty- two percent consisted of rail shipments, practically 

 all of which originated in the States covered by the present inspections. 



Inspections were made on 4,596 shipments, or 57 percent of all 

 rail unloads. Distribution of decay within them was as follows:

Decay, averaging 4.8 percent per carlot showing decay, was found 

 in 677 carlots, or 15 percent of those inspected. Distribution of decay 

 by types was as follows:
