Studies on effectiveness of lime sulphur spraying on the wheat brown rust and the soybean rust

1960

REP.SB-0657

Lime sulfur was tested to control wheat brown rust and soybean rust. Disease development was less and control was effective within the range of concentration from 80- to 20-fold dilution. Disease development was reduced as the spray intervals increased but there was not much between 3-, 5-, and 7-day intervals. There was a difference in rust control when plants were sprayed two or three times compared to once. The use of spreader and the addition of metal salts caused some variations in levels of rust, but for practical purposes it was not recommended. The addition of polyethylene polysulfide suppressed rust development. [THH]
