What is Soil Disinfestation?
Current commercial microbial products and soil treatments have limited, if any, true utility. They also leave behind residue on fruit and vegetable crops. That’s why it’s more effective to use fumigants like Chloropicrin that coax the native, beneficial microbes into higher populations, instead.
Planting in soil affected by destructive pests such as nematodes, fungi, insects, weeds, and other pathogens can be devastating to a crop.
Many of today’s agricultural soils are affected by high populations of plant pathogenic organisms and soil borne diseases, including nematodes, fungi, and insects.
