Plate 5 
Slices of cucumber inoculated with four species of Sclerotinia, showing growth of the fungi, and the 
type of decay produced at room temperature 
A. —Decay produced by S. libertiana 
B. —Decay produced by S. intermedia 
O.—Control 
D. —Decay produced by S. ricini. Note heavy brown growth of conidia ]stage 
E. —Decay produced by S. minor, showing more rapid and complete decay of the cucumber
