SUMMARY In small‐scale trials narcissus bulbs, cultivar Standard Value, heavily infested with bulb scale mite ( Steneotarsonemus laticeps (Halb.) were treated with methyl bromide over a range of concentration x time products from 102 to 251 mg.hr/1. at temperatures between 19 and 24°C. All treatments killed both the mites and their eggs without damaging the bulbs. Fumigated bulbs flowered normally without stunting or distortion.
