Requirements for ascospore germination were similar to those for conidia. Germ tube lengths of ascospores and conidia were maximum in free water and decreased with decreasing relative humidity. After 12 hr in free water, ascospore germ tubes reached a maximum mean length of 0.78 mm at 28 C, whereas maximum conidial germ tube length was 0.82 mm at 24 C for isolate 087 and 0.99 mm at 28 C for isolate 049. Germ tube length of both types of spores declined at 32 C
