Extract

Since 1935 a large number of chemicals including chloro-acetic acid and various water-soluble chloro-acetates, received from the Pest Control Committee of Imperial Chemical Industries, have been tested for their value in controlling the potato strain of Heterodera schachtii under the direction of Prof. R. T. Leiper, F.R.S.

Soils from Yorkshire and Ayrshire were used in the experiments, as they are of very different types, and might conceivably respond differently to chemical treatment.
