Experiments were conducted in 4 successive years to assess whether certain fungicides when applied to lupins would control the disease, ovine lupinosis. Results were variable, ranging from failure of fungicidal sprays to prevent the disease in 1969/70 to partial success in 1970/71. Fumigation with methyl bromide was very effective. It is concluded that none of the fungicides tried could be considered as a practical means of controlling the disease.
