Soil fumigation in preparation for the season is underway. It is important to remember that cooler temperatures and rainy conditions that have been occurring lately may impact the performance or efficacy of the soil fumigants.
When applying fumigants, ensure that the soil temperature and soil moisture are in accordance with the label requirements/recommendations for the specific soil fumigant that is being used.
As we get closer to planting season, please note that different soil fumigants may require different time intervals between fumigation and transplanting.
Please follow the label associated with the soil fumigant that was used and refer to the product label for more information. Additional information can also be found in Table 2-1 of Publication 843 – Flue-Cured Tobacco Crop Protection Guide.
