%X Five chemicals were used in screening trials for the control of black end and anthracnose of bananas, both caused by Colletotrichum musae. Of the fungicides tested, Benlate (R)-[Methyl (l-butylcarbamoy1)- 2-benzimidazolecarbamate] was the most effective. Thiabendazole and 2-amino butane also gave significant control. In a larger scale trial varying concentrations of Benlate were examined using clusters of fruit in commercial fibreboard carton packs. At 100 p.p.m. and above a high degree of control of crown rot and anthracnose was achieved, both diseases being virtually eliminated at 400 p.p.m.
