SUMMARY White mould is frequently responsible for poor flower crops in certain late‐flowering narcissus cultivars as well as occasional losses in other cultivars. Bordeaux mixture and tank‐mix zineb gave the best control, and the latter is recommended for use in commercial crops. The addition of a petroleum oil emulsion slightly improved the control given by tank‐mix zineb.
