- Abstract
This article discusses the effectiveness of fumigation methods in controlling emissions of fumigants in a peach replant orchard in the San Joaquin Valley, California. The authors compared shank injection and drip application treatments and varied surface water and plastic tarps. According the authors, the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) tarp over shank injection and the control had the highest emission losses. All treatments were totally effective in killing citrus nematodes in buried bags. Drip application and pre-irrigation appeared to be the most effective in minimizing emissions of 1,3-dichloropropene and chloropicrin.
