SUMMARY In three experiments, using laboratory, glasshouse and field tests, seed dressings of benomyl‐1½ (42.4 g) to 2 oz (56.6 g) Benlate 50% w.p. per 28 lb (12.7 kg) of seed‐gave complete control of Ascochyta infection of pea seeds. Mixtures of benomyl and captan and benomyl and thiram were also effective. Carboxin, captan, and thiram used as seed dressings, either singly or in mixtures, did not eliminate the pathogen from peas. Germination, emergence and seedling vigour were not impaired by any dressing.
