Towards the Development of Sustainable Alternatives for the Co
Due to its uncertain etiology, the control of apple replant disease has primarily been dependent upon the use of biologically broad-spectrum pre-plant soil sterilants such as methyl bromide. Formulation of alternative measures that approach the levels of disease control achieved with soil fumigants has awaited a clearer understanding of the biotic and abiotic elements which contribute to the di...
متن کاملManaging nematodes without methyl bromide.
Methyl bromide is an effective pre-plant soil fumigant used to control nematodes in many high-input, high-value crops in the United States, including vegetables, nursery plants, ornamentals, tree fruits, strawberries, and grapes. Because methyl bromide has provided a reliable return on investment for nematode control, many of these commodities have standardized their production practices based ...
متن کاملAlternatives to Methyl Bromide for Nematode Control: a South Florida Synopsis
The breadth and focus of the methyl bromide alternatives research program in Florida is not limited exclusively to evaluation of chemical combination treatment regimes. The Florida program also encompasses an evaluation of a diversity of nonchemical tactics. Some of the nonchemical alternatives evaluated include: 1) Cover crops 7) Pest Resistant Crop Varieties 2) Organic Amendments 8) Solarizat...
متن کاملResearch on plant-parasitic nematode biology conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service.
The recent de-registration of several chemical nematicides and the impending loss of methyl bromide from the pest-control market necessitate the development of new methods for controlling nematode-induced crop damage. One approach for developing novel target-specific controls is by exploiting fundamental differences between the biological processes of nematodes and their host plants. Researcher...
متن کاملFumigant Alternatives to Methyl Bromide for Managing Nematodes and Weeds in Snapdragon
Effect of several soil fumigants on plant-parasitic nematodes, weeds, and snapdragon ( Antirrhinum majus L.) production were evaluated in a commercial site in southeast Florida in 2002-03. Treatments consisted of methyl bromide (98%) + chloropicrin (2%), metam sodium, metam sodium + chloropicrin, and a nontreated control. All fumigant treatments reduced (P < 0.05) weed populations compared to t...
