Abstract

A study of solarization and fumigation with methyl bromide (MB) on productivity and fruit quality of strawberry were investigated during two successive seasons of 2002–03. There were nine treatments: fumigation with methyl bromide (MB), solarization, their combination, and Nemaless. Results demonstrate that plant height, number of leaves per plant, average leaf area, root length, and crown diameter were significantly increased by fumigation with MB as compared with solarization or using Nemaless in the two tested seasons. Significant increments were obtained also in early and total yield, as well as total soluble solids and ascorbic acid when soil was fumigated with MB compared with solarization or using Nemaless. The highest total yield found with treatments was MB at 70 g/m 2 , followed by MB at 50 g/m 2 , 2-month solarization plus MB at 30 g/m 2 , 1 month plus MB at 30 g/m 2 , MB at 30 g/m 2 , 2 months solarization, one month solarization, Nemaless, and control in the both tested seasons, respectively. Nemaless caused significant increments in early and total yield compared with the control in the two tested seasons. The results of this study provide evidence to suggest that a better understanding of different fumigation methods may aid us in the efforts to improve management of strawberry production.
