Abstract
SUMMARY In glasshouse experiments at Auchincruive, drench applications of benomyl (100 or 142 mg per plant) to the soil surface around the stem bases of pot‐grown tomato plants before inoculation with Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici reduced the penetration of the fungus up the stems and/or decreased the development of vascular discoloration and associated severity of wilting. Similar drenches applied after establishment of the fungus in the stems either halted or considerably retarded the growth of the pathogen up the vessels. This again was reflected in reduced vascular discoloration and wilt symptoms. In experiments with benomyl over 2 years at a commercial holding in Argyll, the application of soil drenches (at the rates above) shortly after planting out and again 5 weeks later, coupled with a programme of stem and foliar sprays (at 0–05 % a.i.) during the summer, reduced the development of stem lesions caused chiefly by Botrytis cinerea and increased the general survival of plants more than did drench or spray treatments alone. There were indications that ‘ghost spotting’ of the fruit, particularly where spray applications were made, was also slightly reduced, but the magnitude of the effect was not consistent.
