Twelve chemicals (Busan 72, Chloropicrin, Dacthal, Dexon,
Duter, EP 161, Lanstan, Methyl bromide, Phaltan, Vapam, Vidden D,
Vorlex) were tested to determine their effect on populations of certain
important soil-borne microorganisms including the onion pink root
fungus Pyrenochaeta terrestris. The soil used was from a field in

Tests were conducted at the USDA Forest Service Nursery, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho to evaluate effectiveness of spring fumigation with dazomet to improve survival and performance of Douglas-fir and western white pine transplants. Spring fumigation greatly reduced populations of potentially pathogenic Fusarium and Pythium spp. Disease levels of container (plug+1) and...
Healthy-appearing 1-0 ponderosa and lodgepole pine seedlings were assayed for root infection and colonization by potentially-pathogenic fungi following pre-sowing soil treatments which included methyl bromide/chloropicrin (MBC) fumigation, fallowing with or/without periodic cultivation, and amending soil with mushroom composts or undecomposed sawdust. Levels of root colonization by Fusarium spp. on both...
