Abstract

Potassium azide added to soil at 1.12 kg/ha reduced the incidence of Sclerospora sorghi by 23% in field tests. Significant reductions in incidence were also shown in glasshouse tests under controlled soil temps. Although a soil pH of 6.7-7.2 did not appear to hinder KN3 activity, seed germination was affected by as little as 20ppm
