DECAY DUE TO DISEASE 67 Rotting of Fruit due to Diseases of the Fruit Tree In addition to the rotting of fruit due to the growth of common molds, it is important to know that many diseases are caused by certain microorganisms that attack the plants upon which they are growing, or attack the fruits themselves while still growing upon the fruit trees. These sometimes produce various kinds of rots and decay in the fruit even before it is plucked (Fig. 26, 27). In some cases the fruit may appear to be perfectly sou

DECAY DUE TO DISEASE 67 Rotting of Fruit due to Diseases of the Fruit Tree In addition to the rotting of fruit due to the growth of common molds, it is important to know that many diseases are caused by certain microorganisms that attack the plants upon which they are growing, or attack the fruits themselves while still growing upon the fruit trees. These sometimes produce various kinds of rots and decay in the fruit even before it is plucked (Fig. 26, 27). In some cases the fruit may appear to be perfectly sound when picked from the tree, but it is really already in- fected with molds which cause it later to show signs of decay (Fig. 21). Nearly all of the diseases in question are caused by mol4s somewhat similar to those we have already con- sidered, but of different species. Botanists know a large number of species of molds which grow upon different fruit trees, producing diseases of the tree and accompanied by decay of the fruit. So far as concerns affairs of the household these imperfections are quite beyond the reach of efficient remedies. If the fruit which we buy at the market and. Fig. 26.
