In treatment 2, a Rhizopus-iotted berry was added. No rotted berry was added in treatment 3. 3 Means for each holding period not followed by the same letter are significantly different at the 5-percent level. BN-29476 Figure 3.—Influence of ozone on the development of nests of Botrytis cinerea in strawberries: A, Strawberries held in air for 3 days at 60° F. and 90 percent relative humidity, showing early stage of fungal nest development in which the mycelia of B. cinerea are spreading to adjacent berries; B, strawberries held under the same condi- tions as A but with ozone added, showing the dead shriveled aerial mycelia of the fungus restricting spread of the fungus to points of contact between healthy and infected tissue.
