| Abstract: | A single fentinhydroxide spray at the end of May controlled Ramularia leaf spot in in-situ sugar-beet seed crops and increased seed yield on average by 4%. Sprays controlled leaf spots most effectively in the Cotswolds, but yield increases were larger in Lincolnshire. Benomyl controlled leaf spot as well as did fentinhydroxide; thiabendazole was less effective, and maneb and cuprous oxide gave poor control. |
