Abstract
SummaryTwo fungicides, etaconazole and benomyl, used to control powdery mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha [Ell. et. ev.] Salm) on apples were tested for their effects on the growth and leaf characteristics of cv Rome Beauty apple trees and seedlings (Malus sylvestris, Mill*). Etaconazole is a sterol-inhibiting fungicide and benomyl a non-sterol-inhibiting fungicide. Compared to the controls, etaconazole treatment caused shorter internodes and a smaller leaf area in both greenhouse-grown seedlings and orchard trees. The etaconazole-treated trees, however, produced greater fruit yields than the unsprayed control trees that had high mildew infection. Benomyl did not control the mildew as well as etaconazole and also did not produce as pronounced an effect on growth.*Commonly designated M. pumila
