Abstract
The results of control trials against Cladosporium cucumerinum Ell. et Arth. artificially inoculated on
aged pumpkin plants and in soil belore seeding, are referred. All the tested fungicides (benomyl, captafol,
chlorothalonil, iprodione, mancozeb, procymidone, thiram, thyophanate-methyl), although with dlfference
according to the kind of treatment, limited infections powerfully. Thyophanate-methyl and benomyl in foliar
sprays, thyophanate-methyl and chlorothalonil in soil drench, thyophanate-methyl, benomyl and captafol
in seed dressing, gave best results.
By these results, tha Authors point out that a very good control of pumpkin scab is attainable avoiding
primary infections on seedlings by soil drench and se ed dressing
