Abstract
A disease in cucumber characterized particularly by a light green color of the fruits, but also with affected flowers and young leaves, was observed in 1963 in two glasshouses in the western part of the Netherlands. Since that time, the disease, now called pale fruit disease, has been observed in different places throughout that country (Van Dorst and Peters, 1974).
