PLATE 13 
Typical ear rot resulting from natural infection with Gibberella saubinetii. In this 
type of rot it seems probable that infection takes place through the silk mass in the 
late milk or dough stage. Cultures of the kernels near the base or butt of ear A, gave 
no evidence of Gibberella saubinetii internal, possibly indicating that infection was 
from above. 
Somewhat reduced.
