fungicide use on fig cuttings

It appears that the warm humid conditions that best favor propagation of figs from cuttings are the same that favor the growth of fungus, and I would think measures taken to kill or inhibit fungus would likely improve success rates. I see that several here have used chemicals like bleach or hydrogen peroxide in an effort to kill surface fungus, but I would think that this approach would have limitations, especially once leaves appear. I was wondering if anyone here has applied any of the fungicides specifically labeled for use on fruit trees to fig cuttings, and if so, what their observations have been.
