Field studies were conducted to evaluate potential methyl bromide alternatives against nematods in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). Metham-sodium and dazomet were evaluated respectively under a polyethylene cover as alternatives for methyl bromide in tobacco transplant production over a two-year period (2009-2010). One genera or species of nematodes, tobacco root-knot nematod (Meloidogyne spp.), was evaluated in Qingzhou, Shandong province of China. All of the fumigant candidates were successful in controlling the pest. Another Parameter, plant vigor, was measured too. Metham-sodium 60g/m2, dazomet 80g/m2 and methyl bromide were not significantly different (P=0.05) from each other in the parameters evaluated. Results of this study indicate that Metham-sodium and dazomet are potential methyl bromide alternatives available to growers for use in tobacco parasite nematods control.

Fresh-market tomatoes are produced on a raised-bed, plasti-culture system that relies heavily on soil applied, pre-plant fumigants for the management of soil borne pathogens, nematodes and weeds. Since the transition from methyl bromide to alternative fumigants, growers have experienced a resurgence of several soil borne pests and pathogens, including root-knot nematode caused by Meloidogyne spp. and Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici Race 3 (FOL). This resurgence is attributed to the inability of the alternative fumigants to effectively disperse through the soil in the same manner as methyl bromide. Two supplemental fumigation strategies, the application of chloropicrin below bed edges (supplemental PIC) and broadcast, deep shank applications of 1,3-dichloropropene (deep shank 1,3-D), were evaluated in conjunction with standard raised-bed applications of Pic-Clor 60, Pic-Clor 80, and Pic 100 covered with either a virtually impermeable film (VIF) or totally impermeable film (TIF). Large plot replicated studies were conducted in two separate commercial tomato fields with a history of production losses caused by root-knot nematode and Fusarium wilt. Deep shank 1,3-D applications significantly reduced the recovery of root-knot and total parasitic nematodes across field sites prior to the preparation of raised beds. Both supplemental PIC and deep shank 1,3-D reduced root-knot galling and Fusarium wilt incidence; although, the latter supplemental treatment statistically had the greatest impact. Neither the fumigant applied within raised beds nor plastic film had a significant effect on root-knot galling or Fusarium wilt. Although both supplemental fumigation strategies had a significant effect on pest and disease pressure, neither statistically improved tomato yields based on small sub-plot harvests. Controlled lab experiments confirmed the fungicidal activity of 1,3-dichloropropene against FOL, with LD75, LD90, LD95, and LD99 corresponding to estimated field application rates of 56.1, 93.5, 121.6, 184.7 L/ha, respectively. Results demonstrate how fumigant placement can improve pest and disease control activity with current fumigant alternatives to methyl bromide; and further support the broader pesticidal activity of some chemical fumigants.
