Abstract
The inoculation of different isolates ofSclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de at various host sites showed that infection severity differed between sites on the same host, but not between isolates. We suggest that these differences are due to variations in relative humidity between the ambient conditions within the plant canopy rather than to different susceptibilities to infection of the plant organs.
