Abstract: As methyl bromide is phased out, in-ground nursery stock systems face unique challenges.Soil fumigation with 1,3-D can control key nematode pests in nurseries with coarse-textured soils, but long-term sustainability of this option may be limited by other pests and changing regulations.* More detail available from the Nursery Inspection Procedures Manual, Item 7 (CDFA 2011).† Field is covered with a broadcast application of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) film.‡ Field is treated once, then the soil is inverted with a plow, and the field is treated with the second application in an effort to fully treat the surface soil layers.
