SUMMARY Three mineral oils, BSO, EWOS and E9267 and one vegetable oil (mustard oil), did not appreciably inhibit the mycelial growth of Rhizoctonia solani. However, treatment of 100 g seeds of mung bean with 2 ml EWOS and E9267 oils controlled more than 90% of the pre‐ and post‐emergence damping‐off and protected seedlings in soil inoculated with R. solani 5 days after sowing. Soaking seeds in solutions of these oils or drenching the soil did not control damping‐off. Mustard oil controlled only pre‐emergence damping‐off.
