SOME FURTHER OBSERVATIONS ON MILDEW GROWTH

THE C-D-I-C SOCIETY STUDY OF NON-MERCURIAL FUNGICIDES IS CONTINUING. A NEW SERIES OF PANELS HAS BEEN EXPOSED, EXPANDING THE NUMBER OF FUNGICIDES. SEVERAL EXPERIMENTS ARE DESCRIBED THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF MILDEW ATTACK ON PAINT FILMS. IT HAS BEEN SHOWN THAT AN ALKALINE ENVIRONMENT DISCOURAGES MILDEW GROWTH. MYCELLA OF MILDEW HAS BEEN SHOWN TO COMPLETELY PENETRATE SEVERAL TYPES OF PAINT FILMS AND GROW AT THE INTERFACE. THE GROWTH PATTERN OF MILDEW IS FOUND TO DEPEND ON THE TYPE OF NUTRIENT PRESENT, BOTH IN THE FILM AND THE SUBSTRATE, MAKING IDENTIFICATION DIFFICULT.
