SUMMARY The damage caused to unrooted chrysanthemum cuttings by methyl bromide fumigation was lessened by storing the cuttings for one day at 4°C before fumigation at 18°C. After such storage, the addition of 10 per cent carbon dioxide to the fumigation atmosphere did not affect the damage caused. There was significant variation in the damage suffered by different cultivars when unrooted cuttings were fumigated at 4 and 18°C and rooted cuttings at 18°C.
