Abstract
SUMMARY: In several commercial‐scale experiments, bunches of bananas were treated by immersing for approximately 1 min. in 2% Shirlan WS and then rinsing in water. Reports obtained after ocean transportation and subsequent ripening of fruit in England indicated that this treatment effected poor or no control of fruit‐rot caused by Gloeosporium musarum Cke. & Massee. Possible reasons for this are discussed in relation to earlier laboratory trials.
