| Abstract: | The prophylactic effect resulting from the localized application of streptomycin as a foliage spray on dwarf bean plants has been examined. Streptomycin sulphate solution applied to the primary leaves exhibited a marked and consistent systemic, antibacterial, prophylactic action even at sites as far removed from the point of application as the fourth trifoliate leaf. This systemic protection against the halo blight organism persisted for various periods up to a maximum of 11 days. Mannosidostreptomycin was much inferior to streptomycin in its systemic prophylactic action against halo blight. |
