“…Chemical soil fumigation has been widely studied for Verticillium wilts of a number of crops (Wilhelm and Koch 1956;Wilhelm et al 1961;Gullino et al 2002;Klose et al 2007). The efficacy of soil solarization for the control of Verticillium wilt has been demonstrated for pre-and post-planting applications on olives (Katan et al 1975(Katan et al , 1976Skoudridakis and Bourbos 1989;Tjamos et al 1991;López-Escudero and BlancoLópez 2001).…”

“…The intensive glasshouse production, where same crops are repeatedly planted, has created favorable environment for many soil-borne pests and diseases in the soil (Jones et al, 1991), and these pests and diseases have caused extensive damage to the quality and yield of many crops, including tomato (Gullino et al, 2002;Gilreath and Santos, 2004), strawberry, bell pepper ( lusarski and Pietr, 2009), olive, lettuce, peanut (Rojo et al, 2007), potato (Larkin, 2008), coffee pulp (Otieno et al, 2003), melon (Tamietti and Valentino, 2006), and cucumber (Cohen et al, 2015).…”

“…Soil fumigation is a targeted and effective way to control such soil‐borne diseases and pests (Fu et al, 2012; Mao et al, 2012; Cao et al, 2013; Abou Zeid and Noher, 2014). The most widely used fumigant in the past was methyl bromide (MB), which was used to control fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, mites, and weeds (Gullino et al, 2002; Gerik, 2005). Soil fumigation with MB increased the yield of strawberry [ Fragaria × ananassa (Weston) Duchesne ex Rozier], tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.), pepper ( Capsicum annuum L.), zucchini ( Cucurbita pepo L.), and cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L.) by >25% and at the same time reduced the amount of N fertilizer needed (Gullino et al, 2003; Santos et al, 2006).…”

Environmental Factors and Soil Amendment Affect the Decomposition Rate of Dazomet Fumigant

et al. 2018

Dazomet (3,5‐dimethyl‐1,3,5‐thiadiazinane‐2‐thione) is widely used as a soil fumigant for controlling soil‐borne diseases and pests in China and other agricultural countries. The active ingredient of dazomet is its degradation product, methyl isothiocyanate. Little is known about the environmental conditions that affect the degradation of dazomet in soil. In this study, we conducted laboratory incubation experiments to test the effects of several environmental factors, including soil texture, water content, temperature, pH, and soil amendments, such as chicken manure or urea fertilizer, on the decomposition of dazomet. Results showed that dazomet degradation in soil is an abiotic process strongly dependent on soil texture, water content, temperature, and pH. Decomposition rates differed greatly in various soils, depending mainly on soil physicochemical properties such as pH and organic matter content. The degradation rate increased by 15 to 24 times and by 16 to 37 times when soil temperature increased from 5 to 45°C, and water content increased from 10 to 30%, respectively. Dazomet degraded faster in alkaline versus acidic soil. Both chicken manure and urea fertilizer moderately slowed dazomet degradation. Dazomet was degraded in soil mainly by hydrolysis. The results of our study contribute to a better understanding of the environmental behavior of dazomet, potentially leading to its more efficient, safe, profitable, and effective use by farmers. Core Ideas Dazomet dissipation is highly dependent on soil type. Temperature and soil water content had a large impact on the degradation of dazomet Dazomet degraded faster in an alkaline soil than in acidic soil. Chicken manure and urea fertilizer moderately slowed dazomet degradation. Dazomet degradation is an abiotic process.
