Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Bed-only dazomet reduced nematode numbers in soil of strawberry.
- Intervention effect Bed-only methyl bromide reduced nematode numbers and the amount of Verticillium dahliae in soil of strawberry.
- Intervention effect Bed-only dazomet reduced the incidence of strawberry crown rot caused by Phytophthora cactorum.
- Intervention effect Bed-only methyl bromide reduced the incidence of strawberry crown rot caused by Phytophthora cactorum.
- Intervention effect Bed-only application of both disinfestants increased strawberry yield over untreated beds, by 40-60% over two seasons.
- Intervention effect Chloropicrin reduced nematode numbers and the amount of Verticillium dahliae in soil to below detectable levels.
- Intervention effect Chloropicrin had no effect on weed numbers, crown rot incidence or red core severity in strawberry.
- Intervention effect Chloropicrin had no effect on strawberry yield.
- Intervention effect Broadacre dazomet reduced nematode numbers and crown rot incidence in strawberry.
- Intervention effect Broadacre dazomet had no effect on weed numbers, the amount of V dahliae or red core severity in strawberry.
- Intervention effect Broadacre dazomet gave a significant yield increase only in whole-plot data in the second season, of 11% and 17% in sample transects and whole plots over two years.
- Intervention effect Broadacre methyl bromide (750 kg ha-1) reduced the amount of Verticillium dahliae and nematode numbers in soil of strawberry.
- Intervention effect Methyl bromide (750 kg ha-1) reduced weed numbers, crown rot incidence and red core severity in strawberry.
- Intervention effect Broadacre application gave poorer results than bed-only application for strawberry in all criteria except nematode numbers.
