SUMMARY Alternative seed treatments to dieldrin were compared in field trials in S.W. England in 1972–73. Chlorfenvinphos, chlorpyrifos, methiocarb or pirimiphos‐ethyl gave a control of bean seed fly on runner beans equivalent to dieldrin. Treatment with 40 per cent chlorfenvinphos was phytotoxic to the white‐seeded cultivar Harvester.
