Extract

The effect of calcium and ammonium chloroacetates in increasing the yield of potatoes grown in Ayrshire fields infected with Heterodera schachtii is demonstrated.

From the examination of roots of treated and untreated plants it is believed that this increase in yield is due to a reduction in the eelworm infection, and from hatching experiments this reduction is thought to be the result of the action of calcium chloroacetate in retarding and reducing the hatching of larvae from the cysts.
