AT the present time, the only practicable method of controlling dry rot of seed potatoes (Fusarium cceruleum) is to dip the tubers immediately on lifting in a solution of one of the proprietary organo-mercury compounds prepared for the purpose1,2. This requires large numbers of boxes in which the tubers must be placed to dry-extra labour at an already busy season-since the toxic nature of the dip necessitates the removal of ware potatoes before treatment, and, in many cases, considerable outlay in plant. For these reasons, dipping seems suited mainly to the large specialist growers and not to the smaller farmers whose crops form the bulk of the tonnage concerned.
