| Abstract:
An important dosage reduction on MBr fumigation can be achieved by combination with soil solar heating during summer in the Mediterranean coast of Spain. This technique allows a significant action over fungi, weeds, plant health and harvest production, at least at the same level than fumigation with MBr at a normal dosage (about 60 g/m2 of soil). Controlled fungi include Phytophthora cactorum, P. parasitica, Pythium spp., Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. dianthi and Rhizoctonia solani. Crops include carnations, tomatoes, carrots and strawberries. Spontaneous flora is also controlled. | |
