Abstract
Experiments were made during 1955‐57 on the fungicidal control of Botrytis attack on lettuce, cv. May Queen, matured in frames from November to April, and cv. Trocadero Improved, grown as seedlings in frames from November to March and then matured in the field from March to June. The frame lettuce were treated during their whole period of growth and the field lettuce in the seedling stage only.On both types, 0.33% thiram sprays applied on up to five occasions gave the best control of disease: 5% tecnazene dust was effective on the frame crop, in 2 out of 3 years when applied to the plants and also when incorporated in the top soil at the rate of 15 g. per sq.yd. Tecnazene applications did not give a good control of the disease on the field crop. Sprays with 0.25% captan were almost as effective as the thiram treatments on the field lettuce but not on the frame crop.
