Spectroscopic observations have been taken for eight type-D symbiotic systems in the spectral regions λλ3100-4100 and λλ3700-5700. We show that the Oiii permitted lines formed by the O1 and O3 Bowen processes are definitely present in these objects. In this paper the data have been used to calculate ratios of lines arising from the same upper level. The results indicate that the intermediate-coupling radiative rates calculated by Froese Fischer are the most accurate for Oiii Bowen fluorescence lines. The efficiencies of the Bowen mechanism for both processes are derived. In spite of the relatively small size of our sample, we find that the efficiencies increase with the fractional abundance of ionized helium and electronic density, but decrease with electron temperature, confirming previous results from studies of planetary nebulae.
