How to cope with mold my way

I tried all the methods but none of them work so I took radical measures and painted my cuttings with pure fungicide and managed to win this battle with out killing cuttings. This don`t effect on rooting process in any way. Here is some pictures of what I have done.

Good luck with them.

Thank you for posting.  Wonder how this would work with cuttings placed in the frig for long term storage?

Here are some cuttings that I treated earlier.

Very interesting Eden. Do you dilute the fungicide? What is the active ingredients of the fungicide that you are using?

Thank you,
Navid.

Navid I use it straight from the bottle.  Here is picture with ingredients.

Thank you Eden.

Have you done a control study regarding the time it takes for one group of cuttings with fungicide vs a group without no applied fungicide, to root?

Also, the number of lost cuttings with and without applied fungicide?


Navid.

Navid I have not study any of those I was just desperate to save some of rear cuttings that are in very bad shape do to mold. After trying everything from 10% bleach, antibacterial soap, hydrogen peroxide etc... I was about to lose all of them ant I try this method and wow no more mold. On some cuttings I had to repeated  fungicide application after I saw mold on soft tips.

Thank you Eden. Something new to try.

Navid.
