Soil fumigation: principles and application technology.
نویسنده
چکیده
The principal soil fumigants and their order of discovery are carbon disulfide, chloropicrin, methyl bromide, 1,3-dichloropropene, ethylene dibromide, 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane, and methyl isothiocyanate. Biological activity of soil fumigants ranges from limited to broad spectrum. Fumigants diffuse through the continuous soil air space as gases. Physical and chemical characteristics determine diffusion rates, distribution between the soil air and moisture, and sorption onto and into the soil particles. The principal soil factors affecting the efficacy of each treatment are the size and continuity of air space, moisture, temperature, organic matter, and depth of placement. Application can be made overall with tractor injection or plow-sole, or as a row or bed treatment. Treatment for trees is best made in conjunction with tree site backhoeing.

Effect of Long-Term Continuous Fumigation on Soil Microbial Communities
High value crop producers in California rely heavily on soil fumigation to control a wide array of soil borne pests including nematodes, pathogens and weeds. Fumigants with broad biocidal activity can affect soil microbial communities that contribute to nutrient cycling and plant nutrient uptake which can impact soil health. It is often thought that soil microbial communities make a relatively ...
متن کاملSuppression of Fusarium wilt of cucumber by ammonia gas fumigation via reduction of Fusarium population in the field
Cucumber plants subjected to consecutive monoculture for 9 years were found to suffer from severe Fusarium wilt disease, caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Cucumerinum J. H. Owen. In the present study, greenhouse experiments were performed to evaluate the influence of ammonia gas fumigation on Fusarium wilt suppression, fungal abundance and fungal community composition. R...
متن کاملEfficacy of Metam Sodium Under Drip and Surface Spray Application in Florida Tomato Production
The most effective soil fumigant for the past 40 years for preplant chemical control of nematodes, weeds, and fungal pathogens in Florida vegetable production has been methyl bromide (MBr). Unfortunately, MBr has been implicated in depletion of stratospheric ozone, and is slated to be banned in the United States. A possible alternative replacement to MBr is metam sodium (MS, sodium N-methyl dit...
متن کاملSurface seals reduce 1,3-dichloropropene and chloropicrin emissions in field tests.
Reducing emissions is essential for minimizing the impact of soil fumigation on the environment. Water application to the soil surface (or water seal) has been demonstrated to reduce 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) emissions in soil column tests. This study determined the effectiveness of water application to reduce emissions of 1,3-D and chloropicrin (CP) in comparison to other surface seals under...
متن کاملBuffer Zone Regulations and Alternatives to Pre-plant Soil Fumigation: Using Steam in California Strawberry Production
The number of regulations regarding pre-plant soil fumigation is increasing. Buffer zones are required for methyl bromide and chloropicrin applica tions. Choosing application blocks, methods, and rates to maximize pro fits is becoming a difficult challenge for growers. One consideration is the management of the buffer zone. We consider the costs and returns of using steam for pre-plant soil d...
