Abstract
A METHOD involving the technique of mist-propagation which has led to the successful rooting of leafy clonal cuttings of the Para rubber tree,Hevea brasiliensis, has been reported earlier1,2. A routine application of ‘Fermate’ dust (ferric dimethyldithiocarbamate, kindly supplied by Messrs. E. I. Dupont de Nemours and Co., Inc.) to the base of the cuttings was mentioned in these publications and elsewhere by Levandowsky3 also working with Hevea cuttings.
