USE OF SYSTEMIC FUNGICIDES IN CYCLAMEN |
| Author: | A. Van Winckel |
| Abstract:
Experiments carried out with two systemic fungicides to control Nectria radicicola infection of cyclamen gave very promising results. Use of Benlate or of NF 35 at a dosage of 50 g a.i. per m3 of soil gave a very good seedlings control of the parasite. Use of these fungicides at the same rate in the pot soil is also advantageous. Although both compounds are systemic, they have 3 months after application no more protective effect against an infection. The effect of Thiram is insufficient to control a Nectria infection of cyclamen. | |
