Distribution and efficacy of drip‐applied metam‐sodium against the survival of Rhizoctonia solani and yellow nutsedge in plastic‐mulched sandy soil beds

Abstract: The effects of metam-sodium application rate on soil residence time, spatial and temporal distributions of methyl isothiocyanate and pest control efficacy were studied in a Georgia sandy soil. Metam-sodium 420 g L(-1) SL was drip applied at rates of 147 and 295 L ha(-1) in plastic-mulched raised beds. Methyl isothiocyanate concentrations in soil air space were monitored from four preselected sites: 10 and 20 cm below the emitter, and 20 and 30 cm laterally away from the emitter at 3, 12, 24, 48, 72, 120 and 24… Show more

“…Another influence could be that the eastern portion of the production area has 80% of the potato production (USDA-NASS, 2008) in their rotation which is produced on ground frequently fumigated with metam-sodium to control Verticillium. Metam-sodium will also influence other soil fungal populations including R. solani (Fravel & Lewis, 2004;Candole et al, 2007aCandole et al, , 2007b. These observations may prove helpful in guiding future research and management options.…”

“…This observation was likely due to POST herbicide treatments in the greenhouse being applied over-the-top, whereas in field studies, the POST treatments were directed. Candole et al (2007) showed that one complication with dripapplied herbicides is distribution across the raised bed. These field studies included two drip tapes in the planting bed to increase application of herbicide treatment across the raised bed.…”

“…Variability in pest control when using Met‐Na is believed to result from inadequate distribution of MITC within the soil profile, especially for sandy soils (Nelson et al, 2004; Candole et al, 2007). A better understanding of how Met‐Na moves in the soil water phase when applied by drip irrigation lines is necessary to predict MITC distribution within the soil bed at concentrations required to provide adequate pest control throughout the growing season.…”
