Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Chemical treatments varied widely in scab control.
- Observation Corresponding 1,4-benzoquinones and hydroquinones had similar effects.
- Intervention effect Unsubstituted and phenyl-, chloro-, 2,5- and 2,6-dichloro compounds controlled scab as effectively as quintozene.
- Intervention effect Those compounds other than chloro-hydroquinone did not reduce tuber yield.
- Intervention effect Chloranil was much less effective against scab.
- Intervention effect Chloroneb was much less effective against scab.
- Intervention effect Chloroneb decreased tuber yield.
- Intervention effect 4-terf-butyl catechol controlled scab better than all tested compounds including quintozene.
- Intervention effect 4-terf-butyl catechol at suitable rates did not decrease yield.
- Intervention effect Other hydroxybenzenes were almost ineffective against scab.
- Intervention effect Some 1,4-naphthaquinones including dichlone were almost ineffective.
- Intervention effect Anthraquinones were almost ineffective against scab.
