REPORT OF THE SUB-COMMITTEE APPOINTED BY THE COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT OF THE IMPERIAL BUREAU OF MYCOLOGY TO CONSIDER AND ADVISE IN REGARD TO RESOLUTION No. 8 OF THE IMPERIAL MYCOLOGICAL CONFERENCE (1924).
A MEETING of the Sub-Committee was held in the Conference Room at the Colonial Office at 3.30 p.m. on Monday, the 17th November, 1924.
Present:
SIR DAVID PRAIN (Chairman), Member, Committee of Management. DR. BRIERLEY, Head of the Department of Plant Pathology, Rothamsted. DR. BUTLER, Director of the Bureau.
MR. COTTON, Member, Committee of Management.
DR. PETHYBRIDGE, Member, Committee of Management.
Mr. Salmon, Mycologist, South Eastern Agricultural College, Wye.
MR. TATTERSFIELD, Head of the Department of Insecticides and Fungicides,
Rothamsted.
1. The Chairman explained the circumstances which led to the appointment of the sub-committee and recalled that Resolution No. 8 of the Imperial Myco- logical Conference read :—
"That the question of the formation of a body or sub-committee for the co-ordination of investigations of fungicides be brought before the Managing Committee of the Imperial Bureau of Mycology with the request that they take such steps as they deem fit.”
He thought that the subject might be considered in the order set forth in the list of agenda provided for the meeting, namely:-
I. The objects of forming such a body or sub-committee.
II. Whether these objects are such that the Managing Committee can recommend that a special body be formed for the purpose of carrying them out.
III. The best method of setting up this special body.
2. Dr. Pethybridge pointed out that, unfortunately, comparatively little systematic work was at present actually going on in regard to fungicidal investiga- tions in England. The total number of workers engaged on these investigations was very small, and he doubted if a committee or other body would be able to do much good in attempting to correlate their work, still less in seeming to dictate to the individuals concerned what work they should do.
3. Mr. Cotton said that he had an open mind in regard to the utility of setting
up such a body and would prefer to hear what its functiona were to be before coming to any decision.
4.
Mr. Tattersfield thought that there was much need for chemical research in relation to fungicides, though perhaps less than in the case of insecticides aince various cheap and commercially reliable fungicides were available. He instanced. however, an indicating the possibilities of progress, the new group of organie compounda introduced as fungicides in tiørmany since the War, and said that so far us he knew these were not being tested in this country nor was any attempt being made to study, or improve on, them Attention should certainly be directed to this field for research, but whether the committee that was contemplated was the best way of furthering progress in this direction he could not say until the duties of the committee were more clearly defined
A. Mr. Halmon did not agron with Mr Tattersfield that the status of fungicides was at all satisfactory.” Lano sulphur, for matance, was much too dear, though it was extessively timed, and this as well as other sulphide washes, needed to be standardised on * polysulphide sulphur basis Some of the copper preparations also, stich an the Hordenitx pastos tu use, wale in various respecta unsatisfactory There was not the slightest difficulty in making out a strong vase aa to the necessity for increased research in regard to fungicides generally Wurk of the highest importanon had been started by various investigators iii this country and then, for one reason or another, dropped He thought there was much good for “ some machinery to secures continuity in these Investigations and for correlating the work in progress, but he did not know how a committee much as that apoken af would function The financial ampoot was an important one, and grants should be
