The studies on chemical control of downy mildew of maize at the National Corn and Sorghum Research Center, Pakchong, Nakornrajsima province showed that Difolatan 80 WP, Dithane M-45, 80 WP, and DPX 3217, 80 WP at 1000 ppm can inhibit condial germination of downy mildew fungus of maize. Alternate spraying with Duter and Dithane M-45, and Dithane M-45, Difolatan, DPX 3217 and Manzate D cannot provide protection at any time. Seed treatment with Demosan 10 D at a rate of 60 grams for 1 kilogram of seed can protect about 2-3 weeks after emergence. The good resistant variety of maize is Suwan I when planted before the disease outbreak. A new systemic fungicide, Ridomil, sprayed 4 times at a rate of 0.2 g/liter gave very effective protection in all varieties of maize. Soil drenching and seed treatment at a rate of 2.5 g-ai for 1 sq.m. yielded very good protection. Treated seed could be kept for a long time and did not lose germination. Super sweet corn treated with Ridomil at a rate of 5 g-ai/liter spray was protected well
