✦ Synopsis
Cereal seeds of various varieties which had been fumigated a t one of four moisture contents were kept for 6 years. The germination capacity of the samples was determined initially and again after 6 months, 3 years and 6 years of storage. At the lowest moisture contents good survival of fumigated and of unfumigated seed was noted, but varietal differences appeared which had not been found during the earlier stages of the tests. Rye remained viable for 3 years when stored dry, but lost its viability after that period.

## Abstract The effect of the following factors on the sorption of methyl bromide by potatoes has been determined : concentration of fumigant, period of exposure, size of tubers, temperature, maturity, induced sprouting and variety. At the concentration‐time product studied residual methyl bromide
## Abstract In view of the part played by secondary fungal and bacterial attack in enhancing the damage done to seed potato tubers by the vapour of methyl bromide, it was thought advisable to investigate the reactions of tubers dressed with rot‐preventing chemicals. The two dressings chosen were F
## Abstract These experiments are the first of a series designed to provide safe and efficient fumigation of dried fruit with methyl bromide. Bituminous felt chambers can be used with safety if they are well made and kept in good condition, but loss of methyl bromide exceeds the unavoidable loss by
