Abstract

Protection experiments carried out in the greenhouse showed that preparations of thiram, zineb, ferbam and ziram were superior to cuprous oxide and copper oxy‐chloride preparations, in controlling downy mildew of lettuce and in lack of phytotoxic effect. Tests made in winter on lettuce seedlings grown in Dutch lights, showed that Bremia lactucae attack reduced the stand of seedlings, diminished their size and weight, and, when the crop was planted out into the open ground, reduced survival in the field and slightly delayed the date of reaching maturity. The best overall results in protecting foliage against downy mildew were given by thiram and zineb preparations.
