Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Many fungicides were more effective protectively than curatively at normal rates.
- Intervention effect DDAB, dodine acetate, LS and dichlofluanid showed a weaker protective advantage.
- Intervention effect PMC was curatively superior at unusually low rates.
- Observation PMC was active as vapour and translocated between leaf surfaces and to younger unsprayed leaves.
- Intervention effect Other standard fungicides showed little or no translocated activity.
- Intervention effect Isobutyl-o-coumarate applied to lower leaves acted at growing shoot tips.
- Intervention effect PMC reduced apple scab infection when applied during incubation, especially 24 hours after infection.
- Association Longer delays before spraying reduced curative action.
- Intervention effect Later PMC sprays left many lesions practically infertile.
- Intervention effect Other formulated phenylmercury salts matched the curative properties of PMC.
- Intervention effect Dimethyldithiocarbamate was less effective than PMC.
- Intervention effect Mixing PMC with LS showed fungicidal antagonism.
