Abstract
Three methods of controlling swede mildew were compared. Mildew infection was reduced by delayed sowing but yields from later sown plots were seriously reduced. Infection was reduced but not eliminated on resistant varieties. Highly effective chemical control was achieved with the fungicide Persulon, which showed both eradicant and protective properties. The yield differences between a genetically resistant and a susceptible variety were eliminated when Persulon was used.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
