SUMMARY The effects of various cane removal treatments on the epidemiology of Phragmidium rubi‐idaei were studied in four experiments in infected raspberry plantations in Wales and Scotland. In 1981, removal of 15 cm high young canes either by cutting or by spraying dinoseb‐in‐oil reduced infection of a second flush of canes (replacement canes) compared to that of the first flush of canes on untreated plots of cv. Mailing Delight in Wales and of cv. Glen Clova in Scotland. In 1982, removal of 20 cm high young canes reduced infection of cv. Mailing Delight in Wales but in Scotland only removal of 60 cm high canes by cutting reduced infection of replacement canes. Removal of all fruiting canes and old cane stubs reduced rust infection of young canes, but removal of successive flushes of replacement canes did not reduce infection of lateral shoots on the fruiting canes. Dinoseb‐in‐oil applied to the bases of fruiting canes before emergence of young canes had no effect on infection of young canes in Wales or Scotland. The production of basidiospores was inhibited in vitro by dinoseb‐in‐oil at concentrations over 1.0 μg a.i./ml.
