“…An important component of managing plant pathogens in strawberry nurseries without methyl bromide is the establishment of pathogen-free transplants into clean soil. Nursery transplant production is not aimed at increasing plant vigor and fruit yield, but rather aims to generate plant material free of pathogens, nematodes, and viruses, including those transmitted by nematodes (36,83).…”

“…The use of alternatives to methyl bromide to achieve relatively clean soils and increased vigor and yield has been widely studied and implemented in strawberry fruit production systems (2). In contrast, for strawberry transplant production, the development of alternatives has been much more difficult given the higher standards of pathogen, weed, and nematode control required for certification (36,83). Nonchemical alternatives such as solarization, steam, rotation, biofumigation and green manure, disease resistance, and the use of disease-free plug plants are not efficacious enough for use in nursery plant production (2).…”

Methyl bromide is an effective pre-plant soil fumigant used to control nematodes in many high-input, high-value crops in the United States, including vegetables, nursery plants, ornamentals, tree fruits, strawberries, and grapes. Because methyl bromide has provided a reliable return on investment for nematode control, many of these commodities have standardized their production practices based on the use of this chemical and will be negatively impacted if effective and economical alternatives are not identified. Alternative control measures based on other chemicals, genetic resistance, and cultural practices require a greater knowledge of nematode biology to achieve satisfactory results. Here, we provide an overview of nematode management practices that we believe will be relied upon heavily in U.S. high-value crop production systems in a world without methyl bromide. Included are case studies of U.S. high-value crop production systems to demonstrate how nematode management practices other than methyl bromide may be incorporated.

“…The improved retention of fumigants under VIF also provides more opportunity for them to degrade in the soil rather than be released into the atmosphere (Wang and Yates 1998). A number of researchers have found that VIF as a tarp can reduce the amount of 1,3-D plus chloropicrin needed for effective soil disinfestations by 50% (De Cal et al 2004;Medina et al 2006;Porter et al 2006). Santos et al (2005Santos et al ( , 2007 found that reducing methyl bromide plus chloropicrin rates by one-half under VIF controlled nutsedge similarly to the fullrate of 350 pounds per acre applied under standard films.…”

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. Totally impermeable film (TIF) was compared to standard film (STD) for the retention of soil fumigants. 1,3-dichloropropene plus chloropicrin concentrations under TIF were 46% to 54% higher than under standard film, and higher fumigant concentrations under TIF were correlated with higher strawberry fruit yields and better weed control. The results suggest that to achieve fruit yield and weed control similar to methyl bromide and chloropicrin, 33% less 1,3-dichloropropene plus chloropicrin is needed under TIF than standard films.

BACKGROUND Ethanedinitrile (EDN) has shown promising efficacy against weeds, plant‐parasitic nematodes and soil‐borne pathogens. Field experiments were conducted for three strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa D.) seasons in Balm and Dover, FL, USA to evaluate the control efficacy of EDN applied through drip tape on various weed species and the fungus Macrophomina phaseolina, the causal agent of charcoal rot of strawberry. RESULTS Results revealed that 224, 336, 448 or 560 kg ha−1 EDN, and 104 kg ha−1 1,3‐dichloropropene (1,3‐D) + 176 kg ha−1 chloropicrin (Pic) applied through drip tapes under totally impermeable film were safe for strawberry production, with no adverse effect on strawberry growth and yield. EDN rates at 224, 336, 448 and 560 kg ha−1 were highly efficacious and equally effective in reducing purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus L.) in two of three growing seasons. Compared with the efficacy on purple nutsedge, the evaluated EDN rates were generally less effective on various broadleaf and grass weeds emerging on the bare ground and planting holes, but at 560 kg ha−1 consistently exhibited similar levels of control as 1,3‐D + Pic. For M. phaseolina, the evaluated EDN rates were more efficacious than 1,3‐D + Pic and significantly reduced inoculum buried in different bed locations in plastic‐mulched beds. CONCLUSION EDN has potential to be an efficacious tool for soil disinfestation and weed control in plasticulture strawberry production. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry
