Notes:
Symptom production was recorded during a 31 month period in a commercial crop of carnations infected by Fusarium oxysporum f. dianthi. In the first year spread was slow but increased to approximately 12 in. (0·305 m) of bed length per month by the end of the crop.The degree of infection and colonization of the plants did not differ greatly at 18–20°C or 23–25°C, although symptoms appeared more rapidly at the higher temperature.Benomyl, applied as a drench to each plant at the rate of 1·5 g and 3·0 g/4·5 l./200 ml. suppressed symptom expression and was not markedly phytotoxic. Best results were obtained when the fungicide was applied within a week of planting into infested soil. Bioassay results of treated plants indicated a maximum level of activity within the plant 10–14 days after application.
