Summary

The effect of fungicides on the development of powdery mildews on cucumber and okra was studied. Most of the chemicals tested controlled the disease and significantly increased yields, though a dimethirimol-resistant Oidium sp. appeared on okra. Seed dressing with the systemic fungicides thiophanate and benomyl conferred resistance to the disease for a few days whereas soil application gave protection for more than eleven weeks.
