EXPERIMENTAL work with yellow rust (Puccinia glumarum (Schm.) Erikss. and Henn.) on wheat seedlings under glasshouse conditions has been considerably hampered by epidemics of cereal mildew


(Erysiphe graminis D.C.). Control of these epidemics has proved difficult because environmental conditions in a normal glasshouse cannot be kept within narrow limits and because fungicides


which have been effective against the mildew have also been toxic to the rust. Reports of the effectiveness of ‘Karathane’ (2: 4-dinitro-6-(l-methyl heptyl) phenyl orotonate) when used


either as a wettable powder or as a fumigant for the control of many powdery mildews but no other disease prompted us to examine the possibility of its being of use in this instance.
