Controlling Damping-Off of Red Pine in Quebec Nursery

In Quebec nurseries, mortality by damping-off ranges annually between 20 and 65 percent of all the coniferous seedlings emerged (Pomerleau and Nadeau, 1959). To lower these losses, seed pelleting with Captan 50W has been used with satisfactory but variable results for the last few years. We wanted to compare a soil fumigant, Trizone, with two fungicides, Thiram SF-75 and Zyneb 50W. Trizone and Zyneb 50W gave good results on red pine.
