(1) A solution of dicalcium hydrogen arsenate at a strength of 0·0125 per cent. As2O5 was fungicidal to the conidial stage of Sphaerotheca Humuli, while at 0·006 per cent. As2O5 it was not quite fungicidal.
(2) Lime casein containing calcium hydroxide when added as a spreader to calcium arsenate was shown to reduce the fungicidal properties of the calcium arsenate spray.
(3) A solution of calcium thioarsenate at a strength equivalent to 0·006 per cent. As2O5 was fungicidal to the above fungus, while at 0·003 per cent. As2O5 it was below fungicidal strength.
(4) It is suggested that the increased fungicidal properties of the mixed lime sulphur-lead arsenate spray are due to the presence of calcium thioarsenates.
