Mechanisms by which chloropicrin fumigation promotes soil potassium conversion and absorption
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Fumigation of soil using chloropicrin has been proven to significantly affect soil nutrient cycling, but the mechanism by which soil potassium conversion and plant uptake is promoted remains unclear. In this study, we conducted a fumigation experiment to

Evaluation of Broadcast Steam Application with Mustard Seed Meal in Fruiting Strawberry
HortScience, 2021 Soil disinfestation with steam has potential to partially replace fumigants such as methyl bromide, chloropicrin, and 1,3-dichloropropene because it is effective, safer to apply, and has less negative impact on the environment.

Fumigant emission reductions with TIF warrant regulatory changes
California Agriculture, 2013 With methyl bromide's phase-out, most growers have turned to alternative fumigants, particularly 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) and chloropicrin. These alternatives are tightly regulated because they are classified as toxic air contaminants and volatile ...

Totally impermeable film retains fumigants, allowing lower application rates in strawberry
California Agriculture, 2012 The California strawberry industry is highly dependent on soil fumigation to control soil pests and maintain high productivity. Plastic films are used to hold fumigants in the soil at the doses needed to control pests and to prevent the loss of fumigant.

Methyl bromide alternatives evaluated for California strawberry nurseries
California Agriculture, 2008 The recent phase-out of the soil fumigant methyl bromide (MB) due to its impact on stratospheric ozone presents a huge challenge to strawberry nursery producers. We evaluated the effectiveness of alternative fumigants on soil pests and plant productivity,

Effects of Biochar Amendment on Chloropicrin Adsorption and Degradation in Soil
Energies, 2016 The characteristics of biochar vary with pyrolysis temperature. Chloropicrin (CP) is an effective fumigant for controlling soil-borne pests. This study investigated the characteristics of biochars prepared at 300, 500, and 700 °C by michelia alba ...
