%X Wound protectants were evaluated on apricot and cherry by the inoculation of pruning wounds with-basidiospores of Chondrostereum purpureum within an hour of applying the protectant. Agseal (1% captafol and 1 % chinosol suspended in a polyvinyl acetate based paint) protected 100% of the cherry and 84% of the apricot wounds from infection and was more effective than a water suspension of 250 mg/litre captafol. Water suspensions of triadimefon at 25 mg/litre and oxycarboxin at 250 mg/litre were not effective, as greater than 70% of these treated wounds yielded the fungus. Neither Agseal nor 104 mg/litre of captafol was effective when applied 27 h after inoculation.Apricot and cherry wounds untreated or treated with Agseal at pruning were not infected by C. purpureum when inoculated more than 7 d after pruning.
