“…A modification on this technique, bisolarization, combines covering and heating the soil with the incorporation of plant materials, which enhances pest suppression (Gamliel and Stapleton 1993;Stapleton and Duncan 1998;Villapudua and Munnecke 1986). ASD builds upon these principles by combining the addition of organic matter and covering of the soil with flooding to create anaerobic conditions where microbes cannot survive (Shennan et al 2014).…”

“…Opportunistic species of nematodes and microbes quickly re-colonize after treatment and many of these groups are antagonistic to pests (Gamliel and Stapleton 1993;Mazzola et al 2012;Simmons et al 2014;Stapleton 2000), resulting in very different microbial communities than those found in either fumigated or nonfumigated soil (Drenovsky et al 2005;Shennan et al 2013). For ASD, steam and solarization, researchers continue to explore using different amendments (e.g., rice bran, brassica seed meal) to enhance pest control and optimize the carbon sources used to control specific pathogens (Fennimore et al 2014;Shennan et al 2013;Shennan et al 2014;Simmons et al 2013). …”

“…Over the years, UC research has focused on topics ranging from how mulches and composts can increase populations of nematode-trapping fungi (Jaffee 2004;Mankau 1959) to their effects on weeds and diseases (Jackson et al 2003). The decomposition of organic amendments also increases soil temperatures, as in biosolarization, and helps create anaerobic conditions, as in ASD (Shennan et al 2014;Stapleton and Banuelos 2009).…”

A "healthy" soil can be thought of as one that functions well, both agronomically and ecologically, and one in which soil biodiversity and crop management work in synergy to suppress pests and diseases. UC researchers have pioneered many ways of managing soil biology for pest management, including strategies such as soil solarization, steam treatment and anaerobic soil disinfestation, as well as improvements on traditional methods, such as reducing tillage, amending soil with organic materials, and cover cropping. As managing for soil health becomes more of an explicit focus due to restrictions on the use of soil fumigants, integrated soil health tests will be needed that are validated for use in California. Other research needs include breeding crops for disease resistance and pest suppressive microbial communities as well as knowledge of how beneficial organisms influence plant health.

“…The soil becomes anaerobic, allowing anaerobic bacteria to flourish and produce organic acids and other antimicrobial compounds. ASD has been proven to control weeds and plant pathogens including bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and oomycetes (Butler et al, 2012;Momma et al, 2013;Shennan et al, 2014). This method could also be paired with vegetable grafting to manage diseases not controlled by ASD.…”

Two years of field trials conducted in a Meloidogyne incognita-infested field evaluated grafting and Paladin Pic-21 (dimethyl disulfide:chloropicrin [DMDS:Pic] 79:21) for root-knot nematode and weed control in tomato and melon. Tomato rootstocks evaluated were; 'TX301', 'Multifort', and 'Aloha'. 'Florida 47' was the scion and the nongrafted control. A double crop of melon was planted into existing beds following tomato harvest. Melon rootstocks, C. metulifer and 'Tetsukabuto', were evaluated with nongrafted 'Athena' in year 1. In year 2, watermelon followed tomato with scion variety 'Tri-X Palomar' as the control and also grafted onto 'Emphasis' and 'Strongtosa' rootstocks. Four soil treatments were applied in fall both years under Canslit metalized film; Paladin Pic-21, methyl bromide:chloropicrin (MeBr:C33, 67:33), Midas (iodomethane:chloropicrin 50:50), and a herbicide-treated control. M. incognita J 2 in soil were highest in herbicide control plots and nongrafted tomato. All soil treatments produced similar tomato growth, which was greater than the herbicide control. All treatments reduced M. incognita J 2 in roots compared to the herbicide control. 'Multifort' rootstock produced the largest and healthiest roots; however, the number of M. incognita isolated from roots did not differ among the tomato rootstocks tested. Galling on tomato was highest in herbicide control plots and nongrafted plants. In melon, M. incognita J 2 in soil did not differ among melon rootstocks, but numbers isolated from melon rootstocks increased in 'Tetsukabuto' compared with C. metuliferus. 'Tetsukabuto' were larger root systems than nongrafted 'Athena'. All fumigants provided protection for all melon rootstocks against galling by M. incognita compared to the herbicide control. Galling on C. metuliferus rootstock was less in all fumigant treatments compared with nongrafted 'Athena' and 'Tetsukabuto'. In watermelon, M. incognita in soil and roots did not differ among soil treatments or watermelon rootstocks, and yield was lower in both grafted rootstocks compared with the nongrafted control. All soil treatments increased average fruit weight of watermelon compared with the herbicide control, and provided effective weed control, keeping the most predominant weed, purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus L.), density at or below 1/m row. Grafting commercial scions onto M. incognita-resistant rootstocks has potential for nematode management combined with soil treatments or as a stand-alone component in crop production systems.

“…The expansion of organic strawberry production is likely to remain limited since a large shift to organics would likely result in a price drop unable to compensate for increased production costs. Nonetheless, research investment has been made in organic strawberry production, and it is possible that the economics of production may improve as research expands [68,69].…”

Sociology in Global Environmental Governance? Neoliberalism, Protectionism and the Methyl Bromide Controversy in the Montreal Protocol

Sociological studies of global agriculture need to pay close attention to the protectionist aspects of neoliberalism at the global scale of environmental governance. With agri-food studies in the social sciences broadening interrogations of the impact of neoliberalism on agri-food systems and their alternatives, investigating global environmental governance (GEG) will help reveal its impacts on the global environment, global science/knowledge, and the potential emergence of ecologically sensible alternatives. It is argued here that as agri-food studies of neoliberalism sharpen the focus on these dimensions the widespread consequences of protectionism of US agri-industry in GEG will become better understood, and the solutions more readily identifiable. This paper illustrates how the delayed phase out of the toxic substance methyl bromide in the Montreal Protocol exemplifies the degree to which the US agri-industry may be protected at the global scale of environmental governance, thus prolonging the transition to ozone-friendly alternatives. Additionally, it is clear that protectionism has had a significant impact on the dissemination and interpretation of science/knowledge of methyl bromide and its alternatives. Revealing the role that protectionism plays more broadly in the agriculture/environmental governance interface, and its oftentimes negative impacts on science and potential alternatives, can shed light on how protectionism can be made to serve ends that are at odds with environmental protection.
