japanese beetle administrative instructions modified 
INTRODUCTORY NOTE 
The fumigation of packaged plants to free them from infestation by Japanese 
beetle has heretofore been authorized for treatment by fumigation with methyl 
bromide at 67° and 63° F. schedules. Further investigation has shown that 
boxed or wrapped plants can be fumigated successfully with methyl bromide for 
this insect at all seven of the dosage and temperature schedules authorized for 
the treatment of balled and burlapped nursery stock. These instructions are 
accordingly revised to provide authorization for the use of any of these schedules 
for packaged plants. 
§ 301.48-b. Administrative instructions to inspectors on the treatment of nursery 
-products, fruits, vegetables, and soil, for the Japanese beetle. Treatment authorized. 
Pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Chief of the Bureau of Entomology
