Control of potato cyst nematodes and economic benefits of application of 1,3-dichloropropene and granular nematicides

, 2004
The two species of the potato cyst nematodes (PCN) Globodera pallida and G. rostochiensis are the most problematic pests of the potato crop in the UK. There are no commercially available cultivars with full resistance to G. pallida and both crop rotation

Modeling 1,3-D Concentrations in Ambient Air in High Use Airsheds of the United States

Air, Soil and Water Research, 2019
Soil fumigants, such as 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D), are used on a variety of different crops in high use areas in the United States, including the Pacific Northwest, the mid-Atlantic coast, and the Southeast coastal plains. Contaminant concentrations in

Lessons on touch: Caring for pesticide exposure in toxic geographies

Geographical Research, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 507-519, November 2025.
This article studies touch as a tool to sense and care for chronic pesticide exposure. It uncovers how agricultural communities come in contact with toxic chemicals and learn to live within toxic geographies as well as possible. Such understandings can cultivate more compassionate and liveable worlds.

Dermal absorption of cis-1,3-dichloropropene vapour: human experimental exposure

, 1996
1. The relevance of skin absorption of cis-1,3-dichloropropene (cis-1,3-DCP) vapour as a route of entry compared to inhalatory uptake has been assessed in human volunteers under controlled exposure conditions. 2.

Managing Risk, Reinforcing Environmental Racism: The Biopolitics of Pesticide Regulation in California Agriculture

Review of Policy Research, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1509-1524, November 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper provides a retrospective on California's oversight of 1,3‐dichloropropene (1,3‐D). It utilizes archival documents, including internal memos, emails, and risk assessments, to demonstrate how the state's Department of Pesticide Regulation consistently expanded allowable 1,3‐D use while presenting each policy change as scientifically ...

Population dynamics of stubby root nematodes (Trichodorus and Paratrichodorus spp.) associated with ‘Docking disorder’ of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), in field rotations with cover crops in East England

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 187, Issue 2, Page 177-191, September 2025.
This study evaluated the population dynamics of stubby root nematodes (SRN) in field rotations with cover crops and the subsequent effect of this rotation on sugar beet quality and quantity attributes. It was clear that the SRN densities under field conditions are influenced by multiple factors, such as the type of cover crops grown, soil disturbance ...

Fumigant dosages below maximum label rate control some soilborne pathogens

California Agriculture, 2016
The activity of commercial soil fumigants on some key soilborne pathogens was assessed in sandy loam soil under controlled conditions. Seven soil fumigants that are registered in California or are being or have been considered for registration were used ...

Polyhalite as an alternative potassium fertilizer for sweetpotatoes

Agronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract Polyhalite is a mineral that contains a significant source of potassium (K). Muriate of potash (MOP) is a widely used, well‐characterized, and available source of K fertilizer. This study evaluated polyhalite as a source of K fertilizer compared to the more commonly used MOP by measuring yields, nutrient uptake, and soil K in Covington ...

Comparison of methods to determine optimum nitrogen rates for irrigated corn using economic and yield‐goal‐based approaches in North Florida

Agronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract Corn (Zea mays L.) plays an important role in human and animal nutrition, biofuel production, and international economics. It is essential to fulfill the nitrogen (N) requirements to attain high yield potentials, provided that a recommended optimum N rate (ONR) is both economically and environmentally sustainable.
