Project Type: Reimbursable

Start Date: Jul 01, 2003
End Date: Oct 30, 2005

Objective:
Determine the efficacy of various alternatives to methyl bromide to control nematode populations in field nursery soils. 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 vines, 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 25520.
