| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses "the use of methyl bromide for renovating putting greens and not for golf course fairways or sod farms." Details possible alternatives to methyl bromide, including dazomet; methyl iodide; dimethyl disulfide (DMDS); chloropicrin; dichloropropene; and metam sodium. Suggests that "combining [these] products...to achieve improved, broad-spectrum fumigation control is another option that makes sense for fumigants that are not effective against all pests." States that "other alternatives include soil amendments, such as compost...experimental products not yet registered as soil fumigants, and, for an alternative to fumigation in general, registered pre- and post- emergent herbicides." Mentions the possible banning of methyl bromide by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, concluding that "while no project should ever be rushed, moving up the date to ensure that methyl bromide can be used may be worthwhile." |
