SUMMARY Benomyl and benodanil, applied to tobacco seedlings before transplanting, reduced sore shin infection. Benodanil was the more effective, sometimes restricting damage to 5% of the surface area of the buried portion of stems, compared with 50–60% in untreated plants. The fungicides were applied either as a seedbed drench or a root‐stem dip. The dip method used less fungicide and was generally more effective than the drench at equal concentration but was less practical. Benodanil was over three times as active as benomyl against Rhizoctonia solani in liquid culture.
