Using dazomet to reduce broomrape seed banks in soils with low moisture content
, 2014 Dazomet (Basamid) is a dry powder formulation that releases the toxic gas methyl isothiocyanate for the control of soil borne pests and weed seeds when applied to moist soils.

Soil Disinfestation Efficacy against Soil Fungal Pathogens in Strawberry Crops in Spain: An Overview
Agronomy, 2021 (1) Background: Strawberry cultivation is highly dependent on soil disinfestation for proper development. Since the definitive methyl bromide phase-out, other chemicals have been used as alternatives.

Ecological Impacts of Chemical Fumigants on Nematode Community Composition
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.Chemical fumigants impact nematode diversity, community composition and nematode‐based indices. ABSTRACT Soil fumigation is widely used to control targeted plant‐parasitic nematodes in agricultural systems, but how they affect nematode communities and nematode‐based indices (NBIs) has remained underexplored.

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Biofumigation with brassica cover crops (BCCs) is gaining momentum in the United States as an ecologically sound alternative to chemical pest suppression in agricultural systems. This review critically evaluates the impacts of Brassica species on soil health, weed suppression, disease mitigation, and control of plant‐parasitic nematodes (PPNs)

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,

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Phytophthora crown rot, caused by Phytophthora cactorum, is a soilborne disease with broad impacts on cultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa). A resistance locus, RPc2, was previously identified in octoploid strawberries, but the underlying genomic architecture and causal genes remained uncharacterized.
