Dipping semi-hardwood Prunus persica ‘Harmony’ and ‘Cresthaven’ cuttings in a Captan-Benomyl mixture following an IBA quick dip treatment increased rooting compared to cuttings not receiving the fungicide treatment. Fungicide treated cuttings rooted as well or better in moist sand with daily watering as they did under intermittent mist. An anti-transpirant dip did not improve rooting and was deleterious to rooting in some treatments.
