Project Type: Reimbursable

Start Date: Jul 01, 2002
End Date: Jun 30, 2004

Objective:
Determine the efficacy of various alternatives to methyl bromide to control nematode populations in field nursery soils. Determine the impact of various alternatives on soil fungi. Determine the effect of treatments on health and vigor of plants at harvest.

Approach:
Methyl bromide alternatives will be applied to test plots in commercial fields and at the USDA, Parlier research station. Trees and vine, will be planted at several time intervals after treatment to evaluate phytotoxicity. At harvest, yield and quality (including marketability) will be determined. Documents Reimbursable with CDFA. Log 23017. Formerly 5302-13220-002-14R (6/03).
