Together to find the next cause, and correct and effective prevention and control methods.

1. Reason

Cucumber white hair is actually due to cucumber sclerotinia disease, from the seedling stage, the whole growing period can occur, the base of the disease is serious. This is a disease caused by fungi, mainly soil-borne diseases, sclerotia will spend the winter and summer in the soil. Seeds can spread with bacteria, sometimes producing ascospores, which can spread with the air flow.
