Abstract

SUMMARY Experiments with fungicide mixtures used protectively and curatively against apple scab showed no advantage from adding phenylmercury chloride (PMC) to certain protective fungicides. Sulphur fungicides greatly impaired the curative activity of PMC, especially in mixtures applied 24 hr. after infection, but captan showed little and dodine acetate no such effect. PMC, however, contributed appreciably to the curative effectiveness of mixtures with captan or dodine acetate. Commercially prepared mixtures of dispersible sulphur with phenylmercury dimethyldithiocarbamate and of zineb with mancozeb gave promising results, and an experimental mixture of dodine/glyodin acetates at low rates was effective protectively and especially curatively. Dodine acetate, dichlofluanid, lime‐sulphur, and isobutyl‐ o ‐coumarate showed little translocated activity against scab when applied after infection, and PMC, which earlier showed strong translocated activity when applied in summer before infection, was much less effective when applied in spring 24 hr. after infection. Uncontrolled powdery mildew early in the scab‐incubation period greatly reduced the establishment of scab infection on the test plants (clonal root‐stocks); methods of mildew control in such experiments are suggested.
