| Abstract/Contents: | "Methyl bromide is being phased out of production and use by 2001 in the United States because of its role in stratospheric ozone depletion. Methyl iodide is a logical replacement for methyl bromide for several reasons. Its spectrum of activity and efficacy as a soil fumigant appears to equal that of methyl bromide; methyl iodide is a liquid with a boiling point of 42°C making it easier to handle and safer for workers to use than methyl bromide; and compared to the ozone depletion potential (ODP) of the chlorofluorocarbon CFC-11, which is 1, methyl bromide has an ODP of 0.6 whereas that of methyl iodide is estimated to be 0.02. In accordance with the Montreal protocol all ozone depleters with a rating of 0.2 or higher are to be removed from production and use. In both laboratory and field trials, when compared at molar equivalent rates, methyl iodide has been proven to be equal to or better than methyl bromide in controlling tested soilborne fungal plant pathogens, nematodes and weeds." |
