Overview

Excerpt from Tobacco Substation at Windsor: Report for 1933 Seed Treatment with Cuprous Oxide. Treatment with cuprous oxide which was used successfully by Pirone (23) in 1932 to combat damping off of spinach on Long Island, has recently been adopted and widely recommended for the control of damping-off of a variety of crops. It has not been tried previously for tobacco. The aim of the treatment is to cover the seed with a fungicidal substance which will prevent entrance of any infecting fungus before germination. Also it is assumed the fungicide will sterilize a narrow zone of soil immediately surrounding the seed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
