Soil fumigation in preparation for the season is underway. It is important to remember that cooler temperatures and rainy conditions experienced recently may impact the performance or efficacy of soil fumigants.
When applying fumigants, ensure that soil temperature and moisture are in accordance with the label requirements and recommendations for the specific product being used.
As we approach the planting season, please note that different soil fumigants may require varying intervals between fumigation and transplanting. Always follow the product label for the fumigant applied and refer to it for detailed guidance.
Additional information can be found in Table 2-1 of Publication 843 ā Flue-Cured Tobacco Crop Protection Guide. If you require a copy of the publication, please contact CTRF.
