Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect N‐ dimethylaminomaleamic acid decreased potato scab.
- Intervention effect N ‐(dimethylamino)‐methylsuccinamic acid decreased potato scab.
- Intervention effect Other daminozide analogues were inactive against scab.
- Intervention effect Gibberellic acid at 0.1 g/l decreased scab incidence.
- Intervention effect Gibberellic acid treatment distorted many tubers.
- Intervention effect The other unrelated foliar growth regulators and translocated chemicals did not decrease scab.
- Intervention effect Root applied chlormequat chloride was inactive against scab.
- Intervention effect Root applied chlorphonium chloride was inactive against scab.
- Intervention effect Soil application of daminozide decreased scab incidence.
- Intervention effect Spraying one plant of a paired pot reduced its stem extension rate.
- Intervention effect Spraying one plant of a paired pot did not affect the other plant.
- Intervention effect The reduction in scab after foliar sprays did not vary with timing 1 to 5 weeks after potting.
- Observation Daminozide was only weakly toxic to S. scabies in agar tests.
- Mechanism Authors inferred daminozide probably decreased scab by altering plant physiology and preventing symptoms.
