An Evaluation of Dazomet and Metam-Sodium Soil Fumigants for Control of Macrophomina phaseolina in a Florida Forest Nursery

Field trials with dazomet (Basamid®-Granular) and metamsodium (Busan®1020) soil fumigants were conducted under operational conditions in a Florida forest tree nursery for control of Macrophomina phaseolina Tassi (Gold.), the causal agent of charcoal root rot. Both materials significantly reduced soil populations of the pathogen; dazomet appeared more effective than metam-sodium. Tree Planters' Notes 45(3):91-95; 1994.
