Pyrimethanil was applied to waxflower (Chamelaucium uncinatum) as a postharvest dip at 1.5 or 2 ml product/litre in fields near Gatton, Queensland, Australia. Disease severity, and flower and leaf drop from waxflower bunches pre-inoculated with B. cinerea were significantly (P = 0.05) reduced by treatment with pyrimethanil. Further, flower and foliage vase lives were significantly (P = 0.05) longer as a result of postharvest treatment with the fungicide as compared with water-treated (control) stems. Similar degrees of disease control were achieved with Rovral [iprodione].
