Abstract

SUMMARY In laboratory trials on detached bean leaves, benzyladenine delayed both senescence and aggressive attack of chocolate spot disease. In field plots, over 80% of the aggressive spots were on senescent leaves and the distribution of aggressively attacked leaves was predictable from the distribution of senescent leaves. The total frequency of aggressively attacked leaves per shoot was apparently related to the frequency of senescent spotted leaves. Although benzyladenine significantly reduced leaf senescence in field plots sprayed in May, the senescent leaves were more frequently attacked aggressively. Wider plant spacing (14 in instead of 8 in) similarly increased the ratio of aggressive attack to senescence, and the individual fields retained until June the differences in infection earlier established by frost damage.
