The size of mycelial colonies on agar medium and of rotten areas on sugarbeet root slices were measured at temperatures ranging from 2 deg C to 20 deg C for several fungi sampled from sugarbeet storage piles. On PDA agar medium, Rhizopus sp., Botrytis sp. and Penicillium sp. grew more consistently and rapidly than the rest of the fungi at low temperature (2 deg C). At the lowest temperatures only Botrytis sp. and Penicillium sp. caused rot on the surface of root slices, and the other fungi failed to produce storage rot at temperatures lower than 10 deg C. It is concluded that Botrytis sp. and Penicillium sp. are the most harmful fungi in sugarbeet storage.
