je cherche des renseigements sur l'emploi de la cire parafinique sur les
plantes en serres, boutures, etc...
Son utilisation a été décrite dans un livre de physiologie végétale, mais
je ne trouve pas le fournisseur. 
Merci de repondre sur le NEWS, pas d'e-mail.

Si vous ecrit en Englais, it is more likely that you will get
an answer. I think that I understand your question, but I am
unsure what you mean by cire parafinique.

I know. Those who speak English are arrogant. Nevertheless, if
you want an answer, you will get it better if you write in
English.

>unsure what you mean by cire parafinique.

Cire parafinique is paraffin wax in English.  I'm sorry that my French 
isn't adequate to translate the question fully, but I think she is 
looking for references on the use of paraffin wax on plants in storage.
This use is mentioned in plant physiology books, but she can't find 
information on how to use it.

Apologies if I've mangled the translation!
