Chemical Good Practices
1, 3-Dichloropropene (stand alone) [2008-06-16]
The application of 1,3-D alone is limited to conditions where only nematodes (all phytopathogenic species) are the sole phytopathological problem. Read more
1,3-Dichloropropene + Clhoropicrin [2008-06-12]
For the key crops such as pepper, tomato and strawberry this mixture is an effective alternative to MB in many countries. Read more
Dazomet [2008-06-16]
Dazomet has been used to disinfect soils of many crops, although its effectiveness is limited or conditioned by the difficulties involved by a proper application (inconsistency processes). Read more
Metam Sodium + Chloropicrin (Sequential) [2008-06-12]
The sequential combination of both soil fumigants has been evaluated in horticultural crops, cut-flowers, etc. obtaining good control levels of fungal pathogens, some random results in the control of nematodes and weeds, and marketable yields similar to those of MB in most cases. Read more
Chloropicrin (stand alone) [2008-06-12]
There are not many tests on applications of PIC in bell pepper because it shows weakness in controlling nematodes and weeds where population densities are high. Read more
Metam Sodium and Metam Potassium [2008-06-12]
Among MS and MK, mainly MS has been used for soil disinfection in nurseries, vegetables production, industrial crops, ornamentals and cut-flowers and the replanting of woody crops (e.g. subtropical fruit trees, citrus). Read more
