Abstract
New equipment for use in stump treatment trials against Heterobasidion anno sum is described. A knapsack sprayer was modified to apply a measured dose of pesticide evenly over a circular target 270 mm in diameter. Stumps of va rying size up to this diameter were treated with known doses of disodium oc taborate without the need for measurement.
