SUMMARY Fungicidal treatments indicated that the incidence of Botrytis attacking chrysanthemum cuttings can be appreciably decreased but the economic benefits were not assessed. Of the few fungicides tested, dichlofluanid was the most promising, particularly in spray formulations. Spraying stock plants decreased subsequent infection on detached cuttings, suggesting that the stocks were an important source of inoculum. Prolonged periods of cold storage increased Botrytis attack during subsequent propagation.
